Who needs a Business License in Mount Prospect?
1. All businesses, with the exception of home based businesses, operating
within the Village of Mount Prospect must maintain a current Business License or
Certificate of Inspection.
2. Who needs a Business Certificate to do business in Mount Prospect? If your
business is regulated by the State of Illinois you must maintain a current
Business Inspection Certificate and show proof of your current State License.
3. What is the difference between a Business License and Business Certificate? A
Business License is issued by the Village to conduct business; a Business
Certificate is issued by the Village to State licensed businesses to ensure
proper inspection and safety information is maintained.
A good rule of thumb is: A business that sells goods, needs a Business License;
A business that offers professional services (regulated by the state) needs a
Business Certificate.
