Ohio Business Licenses
Ohio does not have a statewide basic business license. Businesses may need to register with the Ohio Secretary of State or the Department of Taxation for commercial activity tax, sales tax or payroll taxes. The commercial activity tax is an annual tax imposed on the privilege of doing business in Ohio, and it is required if your gross receipts are $150,000 or more. Professional and occupational licenses are administered by many different boards and agencies in Ohio. Cities and towns often have local licensing requirements. Learn more below about the specific registration and licensing requirements in Ohio or contact LicenseLogix today for a free consultation.
