BUSINESS ONE STOP:
The Michigan Business One Stop (One Stop) www.michigan.gov/business
is a tool designed to allow businesses to interact with the State of Michigan. The tool
offers:
- a set of screening questions based upon your business
sector to identify permits, licenses and registrations that may be
required to do business in Michigan.
- an option to pay fees online. For many
programs, you can pay your business license fee in One
Stop through use of an online form and shopping cart.
- many online permit applications and renewals. When
starting a new business and registering in One Stop, you will need to
identify a business sector (also known as a NAICS Code). You can find
your code at www.naics.com,
select "Code Search." After entering this
code in One Stop and answering some screening questions,
links to relevant permit applications will automatically be available in
your newly created workspace. One benefit of accessing applications
through One Stop is that you will receive status messages
throughout the application process.
Using the One Stop provides many benefits to businesses in Michigan. By conducting your business
through One Stop you can organize your State of Michigan transactions in one place. If you
ever need assistance with One Stop, then you can contact the Customer Assistance Center
