In Oklahoma, licenses, permits, or special registrations may be required for a broad range of businesses, occupations, and business activities. Many businesses will need to obtain a sales tax permit. Businesses may also have to register with the Oklahoma Secretary of State.
Contact CT Corporation for a free consultation.
Although Oklahoma does not require a general license to start or own a business, businesses may need to fulfill other licensing and registration requirements at the state, local, and even federal level. In addition to special licenses for certain professions and occupations, the state requires licenses, permits, or other filing actions for a number of business activities. Businesses also need to meet any necessary city and county licensing and registration requirements when operating in that jurisdiction.
