As a new business owner in Los Angeles, I need to understand the initial registration requirements. Using the 'How Can We Help You Today?' tool, identify the primary application form for new businesses, confirm if a Spanish version is available, and determine the email address for submitting non-online forms. Also, state the general requirement for conducting business in the City of LA.
Navigate to 'business.lacity.gov'. On the 'How Can We Help You Today?' form, select 'Apply For' in Step 1. In Step 2, select 'Business Tax Registration Certificate (BTRC)'. Review the information presented to understand the general requirement for conducting business. Look for a link or instruction that leads to the actual application forms. Once on the forms page, identify the primary application form for new businesses. Check for the availability of a Spanish version of this application. Identify the email address for submitting non-online forms.
State that to conduct business inside the City of LA, a Business Tax Registration Certificate (BTRC) is required. Identify the primary application form as 'Business Tax Application' or 'Business Tax Registration Certificate Application (New Businesses)'. Confirm that a Spanish version, 'Business Tax Certificate Application - Spanish', is available. State the email address for form submission as 'Finance.CustomerService@lacity.org'.
