CSC Business Licenses

New Business License Laws Are Being Enacted In Washington D.C. and Enforced More Aggressively Across the Nation

Across the nation, state and local governments are increasingly enacting and enforcing business license laws in order to increase revenues and protect customers from disreputable business practices. 

As of December 31, 2008, the District of Columbia requires all businesses that pay business taxes to have a valid District of Columbia Basic Business License.  Under the Business Licensing Processing Adjustment Act of 2008 passed by the DC Council, an estimated 10,000 previously unlicensed businesses will be required to obtain a General Business License.

The new law will allow the DC government to identify businesses now subject to licensure and take enforcement actions against any business operating without a license in the district. This will prevent unlicensed business from negatively influencing commerce in the region and protect consumers from fraudulent business practices.

CSC can assist you with the specific DC business license requirements as well as similar business license laws nationwide. We can identify the appropriate forms and licenses required for your business by every state, city, and municipal government. We prepare gap analysis reports, provide preparation and filing services, license verification, and portfolio management.

CSC^® Media (www.cscglobal.com/publications)

CSC^® Media, in collaboration with LexisNexis^® Matthew Bender^®, is pleased to announce the recent release of the 2009 Edition of California Laws Governing Business Entities, the only case-annotated deskbook available for the state.

California Laws Governing Business Entities

The 2009 Edition reflects legislative changes through the end of the 2008 regular session, including changes to the requirements for furnishing annual reports to shareholders and a new section that prohibits the use of senior-specific designation by a broker-dealer or investment advisor.

We’ve included over 200 new case annotations from Court of Appeals and Supreme Court decisions, as well as from federal court decisions construing California business law. The Table of New Annotations lists all new case annotations added since the last edition, along with the code citation, case name, and general topic.

Also included is the full text of recent, significant California opinions, including the Northwest Energetic Services decision concerning the validity of extraterritorial taxation of a foreign LLC, and the Grosset decision applying the continuous ownership requirement in a derivative action.

Finally, after hearing from our subscribers, we have decided to consolidate the content of California Laws Governing Business Entities into a single volume. Going forward, you will find the content you need in a more portable format.

Companion CD-ROM contains over 160 forms for incorporation/formation, qualification, mergers, dissolution, and name reservation for all business entity types in Florida. A listing of forms and contact information for California’s Secretary of State can be found in the book’s appendix.
