Business Wizard
The Business Wizard is designed for those who are just starting out and may need assistance to know which government requirements apply to their business and what resources may be available to them. The Business Wizard will provide a list of referrals and possible licensing requirements for registering a new business based on your answers.
Referral Fast Paths
These fast paths allow you to get some general referrals without going through the entire interview process. If you need more specific information, please use our Business Wizard interview process.
There are five "fast paths" available:
Business Activity
Employer/Taxes
Nonprofit Information
Specific City/County
Tri Counties
