California doesn't necessarily require all businesses (of any structure) to obtain a license. While the state doesn't issue or require a business operating license, it regulates and requires licenses or permits for some business activities.
Limited partnerships, corporations, and limited liability companies (LLCs) are all legally required to register within California. Only sole proprietorships are exempt.
The County Ordinance requires that you obtain a license for conducting business within the unincorporated areas, - even if your business is located outside our limits or you have a business license from another city.
