What is Business License Filing?
Our Business License Filing service is a premium upgrade to our existing Business License Report. While the Report helps you understand which licenses you need, this service actually files them on your behalf—saving you time, effort, and guesswork.
We’ve partnered with Avalara, a trusted compliance provider, to handle the license filing for you.
What's Included?
Avalara files your required federal, state, and local business licenses
Filing is completed within 5–7 business days after your questionnaire is submitted
Support along the way if you need help
One-time price: $449 (not including state or local filing fees)
How to Purchase
This service is currently available for purchase only through your ZenBusiness Dashboard.
Once your business formation is complete, you’ll see the option to purchase Business License Filing.
Please note: You must complete your business formation before starting the license filing process.
How It Works
Log into your Dashboard and purchase the Business License Filing service.
You’ll be guided to create a secure account with Avalara.
Complete a short questionnaire on Avalara’s site with information about your business.
Avalara will file the necessary licenses for you, typically within 5–7 business days.
If any additional fees are required, filing will begin after payment is completed.
