Licensing is the formal authorization to operate a business, product line, or service.
Permits grant permission for specific activities, locations, or projects and are often tied to safety, zoning, and environmental standards.
Licenses are issued by government agencies after review of qualifications; permits are issued for a defined activity or site.
Identify required licenses, assemble the application package, obtain supporting documents, submit to the correct agency, and monitor progress through to approval.
