Assistance to comply with documentary regulations for your business to operate in Florida

At ProLegal, we support entrepreneurs and companies that need to gather, prepare, and submit all the necessary documentation to legally open their commercial premises. Our service includes guidance on the specific requirements according to the city, county, and state where your business is located.

Why is it important to have licenses and permits?

Having the correct permits avoids fines, temporary closures, and opening delays. Many times, in addition to the general business license, additional permits are required for health, safety, occupancy, or sale of specific products. We help you identify and comply with each of them.

Types of licenses and permits we manage

  • Business Tax Receipt / Local Business License (Local business license in city and county).
  • Occupancy Permit to operate in a physical location.
  • Health License (when food is handled or there is direct contact with the public).
  • Fire Department Permit (safety and capacity).
  • Alcohol / Tobacco Permit (when applicable).
  • Special Use Permits (land use or specific activities).

Examples of businesses that require specific licenses in Florida

Many businesses need more than a simple commercial license. Some common cases are:

  • Restaurants, cafes, and food trucks → health license, Health Department inspections, occupancy permit, fire safety permits.
  • Barber shops and beauty salons → establishment license, individual barber or cosmetologist license, hygiene inspections.
  • Spas, esthetics, and nail salons → state licenses for facial specialists, nail specialists, or full specialists.
  • Tattoo, piercing, and micropigmentation → establishment license and individual licenses, regulated by the Department of Health.
  • Massage centers and body therapies → massage establishment license and professional therapist licenses.
  • Tanning facilities → specific tanning facility license with safety and health requirements.
  • Pet businesses (grooming, daycare, boarding) → local commercial license, zoning permits, and in some counties (e.g., Miami-Dade) animal care center licenses.
