A quick definition of business license:

A business license is a special permission given by the government that allows a person or company to do a certain type of business in a certain area. Some businesses need a license, while others don't. Different government agencies give out licenses for different types of businesses, like selling alcohol or flying airplanes. It's important to get all the necessary licenses before starting a business, or else you might get in trouble and have to pay fines or close your business.

A more thorough explanation:

A business license is a type of permission granted by a government agency that allows an individual or entity to engage in a specific business activity within a particular jurisdiction. Some businesses may require a license, while others may not, depending on the applicable state, municipal, or county rules and regulations.

For example, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) grants permits for the import, transit, and release of regulated animals, animal products, veterinary biologics, plants, plant products, pests, organisms, soil, and genetically engineered organisms. The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) grants permits for TTB-regulated businesses, such as manufacturing and selling beer, wine, or distilled spirits. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grants FAA licenses and certificates for pilots, aircraft, airports, and spaceports. The Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) grants licenses for U.S.-based companies or sole proprietors operating as Ocean Freight Forwarders (OFF) or Non-Vessel-Operating Common Carriers (NVOCCs). The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) grants licenses for amateur radio service licensing, commercial radio operation, television broadcast, and wireless services, among others. The Department of Transportation (DoT) of New York grants a permit for Oversize/Overweight Loads.

It is essential to research and obtain all necessary licenses when starting a business to legally operate that specific business. Failure to obtain the legally required licenses may result in fines or the forced closure of the business.

These examples illustrate how different government agencies grant licenses or permits for various types of business activities, ensuring that businesses operate legally and safely within their jurisdiction.
