Q: What licenses does a bar restaurant need in Astoria, NY?
A: Let us untangle that. On cost: our business license service becomes free when you select two or more items, because $100 comes off automatically in the shopping cart. What remains is the govt’s own annual license tax, usually a flat $10 to $50, sometimes more.
Anything involving alcohol has its own license track, and it is usually the slowest piece. Start the business license and entity paperwork early so they are not what holds you up.

For the business license, we find the right application(s), prepare them and file them. If you also need a home occupation permit, or licenses from more than one level of govt (such as a city license and a county license), they are all covered by the one business license fee. The certificate is mailed to you by regular mail.
LLC, corporation and tax ID orders are filed by us, and we obtain the certificate or number for you.
Not included: the govt’s own annual business license tax. It is usually a flat $10 to $50 a year, though some businesses pay more. Depending on the govt, you may mail a check with the application or pay it at the end of the year.
Tip: Put the license renewal date on your calendar the day the certificate arrives. Late renewals usually cost more than the license itself.
