Today I got a business license. It was only $8.50 for Jefferson County, AL. I needed it to open a business bank account. Since the business is an LLC, and I am not the sole owner, I have to turn in vouchers every month for occupational tax. Also i have to remember to renew it in October. In October the amount wil be based on the previous year's reciepts.

I also applied online for an EIN, which is a social security number for a business.
