What are the penalties for businesses operating prior to getting a business license?
To avoid penalties, a business must obtain a Business License prior to opening to the public. If a business has been in operation without a Business License, it could be subject to fees and penalties for a period of up to 3 prior years in addition to the current year.

The penalty for the 1st month is 10% of their gross income and increases 10% each month up to a 50% maximum yearly penalty.
