About each permit
General Business License — Iowa position
No fee is recorded. The Iowa Economic Development Authority's Business License Information Center states it plainly: Iowa does not have a “general business license,” and licensing and other compliance requirements are based on the nature of a business or professional occupation. What follows is entity registration with the Secretary of State, a tax permit if it sells taxable goods, and whatever industry-specific license actually applies.
