How to get a vendor's license

To get a vendor's license, you must complete all requirements and then apply for the license. The first step in getting a vendor's license is registering your business's name. Then, you can apply for a state vendor's license under that exact name so they match.

The exact requirements to receive a vendor's license vary from there. Vendor's licenses are issued at a state level, so it is important to check local requirements for what is needed to get a vendor's license where your business is located. Many states only require an approved application to receive a license, but there are other states with more requirements.
