Once formed, every business needs to register with the state of Utah and receive a business license from the city or county that their business resides in. There are typically minimal fees associated with registering a business and obtaining a licence. These vary by municipality and the size and type of business. Below are the links to the business registration and information regarding licensing.
Business Registration

Registration insures that your business name cannot be legally used by another business. It is also required by law that registration take place with the business with the Utah Department of Commerce, Division of Corporations and Commercial Code, the Utah Department of Workforce Services, the Utah State Tax Commission, the Utah Labor Commission, and the IRS. Registration is also necessary so that a comprehensive state registry of all business and corporate information is available for public reference. This information is vital to an orderly legal system and marketplace.
