Hi Julia, As you can imagine, the medical industry is highly regulated to ensure safety for patients. Depending on where you are located, different states, counties, municipalities have varying requirements. You can chat with one of our experts to find out what you might need. Go to the licenselogix website and they can do the filing for you as well - at low and transparent prices to take this chore of your desk. Good luck with your practice, Best, Imke Oster (This post was edited to remove a link.

Hi, Check out the resources available in our Obtain Business Licenses & Permits section, including information about State and Federal Licenses and Permits. Another great resource is SCORE, one of SBA's resource partners. SCORE is a nonprofit association comprised of thousands of volunteer business counselors throughout the country. They are trained to serve as advisors and mentors to aspiring entrepreneurs and business owners (at no cost to you). You can find your local office or set up an online meeting to chat with someone about your questions.
