Licenses & I.D. Numbers
Businesses must have a city business license, register with the county clerk and have a federal tax identification number.
CITY BUSINESS LICENSE
Go to the City Clerk's office in the Administration Building at 201 Spring Street. Obtain a Business License Checklist and a Business License Application. The checklist will guide you through the steps you must follow. Once you've completed each step, a business license can be issued. Cost for a Business License is $40.00 per year plus $2.50 for each of the first 25 employees, excluding the owner of a sole proprietorship, employed by such business, and an additional $1.00 per year for each and every employee over 25. Maximum fee is $300 per year. Their phone number is 479-750-8119
REGISTERING YOUR BUSINESS NAME
Your business must obtain a “Doing Business As” (DBA) certificate from your county clerk’s office. There is a $25 filing fee for the certificate. You can obtain this certificate at the Washington County Clerk’s Office, 2 North College Avenue, Fayetteville, AR 72701. Their phone number is 479-444-1711.
TAX IDENTIFICATION NUMBER & THE IRS
Each employer must apply for an “Employer Identification Number” (Form SS-4) to comply with Federal Income Tax, Social Security and Unemployment Insurance regulations. For Federal Business Tax Information, contact the local Internal Revenue Service (IRS) at 479-442-3948 or call 800-829-1040.
