Who needs to register their business?

All businesses in Utah are required by law to register with the Utah Department of Commerce either as a "DBA" (Doing Business As), corporation, limited liability company, or limited partnership. In addition, certain types of businesses need special licenses and permits in order to operate, i.e., insurance agents, contractors, doctors, and dry cleaners, etc. Businesses are also required to obtain a business license from the city or county in which they are located.
