Dear Jim, I would like to know how much a small business license would cost and what my steps are to obtaining a license.
There is normally more than one cost to registering a small business
in Colorado. The cost for getting your LLC Articles of Organization at
the Secretary of State’s Office is $50. However, depending upon where
you live, there may also be a local business license required. The price
for these varies in every community. So you need to contact your local
city hall to get this price. You should also get your business EIN
number at the IRS web site
www.irs.gov. This will be free.
I strongly suggest that you register for the SBDC class
on Startup Basics which will cover the many requirements for a new
business as there is more to this than just registering the business.
