Unfortunately, no. business licenses are required to be renewed annually. Forgetting to renew a business license is a common problem among entrepreneurs and we completely understand that. You’ve got a hundred different things to get done so it’s easy to put off renewing your license. To combat this problem we advise that you put a reminder on your phone, a mark on your calendar, pin the deadlines onto your back office wall, and do anything else necessary to stay on top of it and not forget. A business license, while it may seem small once you get your coffee shop startup up and rolling, is a foundational piece of your business and without it you could run into some serious legal trouble such as having your business completely shut down.
