LegalZoom announced its new business license product, which helps businesses become compliant and operate legally. This new product is built on a proprietary nationwide database and a delightful customer experience that matches a small business profile with relevant licenses and permits. LegalZoom's nationwide database is kept up-to-date down to the local level of requirements.

The business license product supports business owners by removing the time-consuming and often confusing process of researching and discovering requirements. On average, small businesses need more than five licenses to operate legally. With such complex licensing requirements, it is hard to know where to start.

Small business owners can quickly become overwhelmed by the amount of research required to find their compliance requirements at every level of government. Failure to secure a required license could cost a business, including penalties, fines, and even temporary or permanent closure. LegalZoom's new business license product aims to bring small business owners confidence in the process by providing a summary of the required licenses, permits, and registrations, plus details about each one and its importance to the business.

Small business owners answer a few simple questions about their business--how and where it operates--for a personalized report. The business license product features direct access to all of the required applications, expediting the process and simplifying business compliance. In addition to the report and access to applications, customers receive help on how to apply.
