We Manage Companies That Have Hundreds of Locations
Business licensing is an administrative nightmare for multi-location companies.
Not only is the volume challenging, but the amount of jurisdictions tax leaders need to deal with is alarming. Each State, City or Town has a different set of hurdles before you are granted your business license.
Did your opening get held up because the business licensing process was not started earlier enough to be final upon opening? Our team can have everything ready to go in advance to minimize delays.
What can we do for your locations?
WE HANDLE YOUR PAYMENTS FOR NEW LICENSE APPLICATIONS AND RENEWALS
Each new license and renewal requires payment. Internally, this means payment approvals and account payable delays and lost paperwork. Typical accounts payable are not set up to process and mail out required documentation for renewals or new licenses. Check payment requests delay the processing of new licenses and timely renewals. Retail Tax Solutions sets up Escrow Accounts for each client and as soon as a new license application or renewal needs payment, it gets paid.
WE HANDLE YOUR LICENSE RENEWALS
With varying deadlines, forms/return types, and varying jurisdictions to deal with, non-compliance of any single location culminates with penalties or shut-downs. Licenses often go unrenewed or paid late when there is turnover in a corporation, or when other priorities must be given attention. Retail Tax Solutions becomes that employee who never quits or is sick, or inadvertently does not have enough time to address a renewal.
WE HANDLE NEW OPENINGS
New openings require attention at each level of government to ensure 100% compliance. Should your location be under construction or improvement, discussion with the construction team is needed to ensure timing of licensing. Retail Tax Solutions becomes part of your team so you don’t have to worry about being a go between. We copy you on all emails so that you can keep an eye on the process, without investing unneeded time.
COMPLIANCE OBLIGATIONS FOR YOUR RETAIL LOCATIONS INCLUDE
- Fictitious name filings at the State level
- Certificate of Occupancy/Use
- State, County, and Local Governments
- Annual Inspections
- Occupancy Tax
- Business Tax Receipts
- Alarm Renewals
OUR PROCESS
Below is a quick look of how we manage your business licensing compliance and more.
With so many locations and general closings and openings, it’s important to keep track be sure all bases are covered. When you come on board, we offer and audit to compliance of all sites ensuring all unneeded licenses are closed and missing licenses are applied for.
Each new location is researched to ensure your bases are covered from Certificates of Occupancy and/or Use to Business License.
Staying Compliant means making each deadline for each license renewal at the right time. Stay focused on your profit-making portion of the business and leave this to us.
