Re: Commercial Business license
There is no state-wide general contractor licensing in New York. Individual towns or counties may have particular requirements. Trades (electrical, plumbing) are licensed. Insurance requirements are established on a municipal basis and are tied to permitting. Manny municipailties will not issue permits for jobs without proof of insurance, but it's not needed to form a corporation or LLC.
