Local business licenses in California Many California counties require businesses to obtain a business operating license before doing business in the county. This requirement applies to all businesses, including one-person, home-based operations. Many cities require a business license in addition to the county license.
As long as your business location and all business activity are conducted outside the City, there is no need to obtain a business license. If you are conducting business from your residence, or your residence is your business location, you will need to obtain and maintain a business license.
Does California Require Corporate Bylaws? No. The California Corporations Code does not explicitly state that corporations must have corporate bylaws.
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.
