A: Click the 'New Business Application' button below.  Then select the appropriate business license type, complete the application and make payment. You will need to have you state registered name and entity # handy.

A: This depends on whether or not your particular license requires additional details or a more thorough review. Assuming the correct application has ben completed properly and payment has been made, you may receive your license within as little as 24 hours.  If your application requires additional review by the city, it may take longer.  If it looks as though the review of your application may take longer than 48 hours, we will contact you and keep you updated on the process.   Additionally, choosing to make payment online using the city's Xpress payment system will also speed things up (rather than sending a check by mail).  You can pay online by credit or debit card as well as by check(entering your account and routing number).

A: After clicking on the 'New Business Application' button below, you will see the various business license types and their respective annual fees.  

A: Your renewal notice (whether via email or letter) included a username and password unique to your business.  With those in hand, click on the 'Renew Your Business License' button below, then make payment when prompted.  Once payment has been made (you will receive immediate confirmation of successful payment), you will receive your license within the hour via email or within 2 days if you do not have an email in the BizMuni system.

A: Every licensed business has a username and password that allows them to log in to their account and make changes to the editable portions of your business identity (email, phone, website, social media links, marketing blurb etc).  Your renewal notice will provide you with your un and pw.  That said, you can contact us at sogden@bizmuni.com anytime to receive or reset your un and pw. 

A: All entities doing business in Utah under an assumed business name must register with the State of Utah, Department of Commerce. If you are using your own name as your business name it will not need to be registered. A filing fee is charged based upon the type of organization. The Department of Commerce is located at:

State of Utah Department of Commerce 
160 East 300 South 
Salt Lake City, 84111
Phone: 801-530-4849 Toll free (in state only): 800-721-7233 

If you are using your personal name as the name of the business, you do not need to register the name, because you own it. However, if you choose a different name for your business, registering it ensures that you own the name and no one else can use it - and this is required for South Ogden businesses.  The website to register your business name is: https://corporations.utah.gov/online_bus_reg.html

 

A: South Ogden does not require home based business licenses. However, if you need a license, we will grant you one. Of course, whether or not you have a license, you still need to abide by our home occupation license ordinance.

A: You will need to speak with an attorney or CPA to determine what type of business you should file as.
