Steps
to Complete
the Nevada Business License
When your
business is located in Nevada it will need to obtain a complete local
license. This is a sample checklist if your business is located in the
city of Las Vegas.
Part
1:
I. Call
Business License Departments for fees:
1. Department
of Taxation - (702) 455-0174 (if no resale number*, typically $25).
2. Employers Insurance Company- (702) 837-3000. Now need to fax in
a quote to them first-they typically do not take entities with one
employee you have to call a local insurance company to get coverage.
NCP recommends calling Charles Haggan at (702) 822-6070 for a quote
if you have one employee for your corporation. An LLC taxed as a partnership
with no employees is not required to obtain this policy. The city
does not require the entity to obtain a workman's comp policy number
before you obtain a license. The county does. This still means that
if your company is located in the city you will still need to obtain
a workman's comp policy.
