In California, is it necessary to obtain a business license if you only sell digital goods (that you created)? Like if you wrote an eBook and sold it exclusively in digital (eBook) form on a website such as Amazon (or your own website), would you need a business license?
Answer
Generally yes. Any person or company conducting business maybe required to obtain a business license from the city in which it operates in, depending on city rules and regulations. In most cases with people selling items online this will be their city of residence unless they maintain a separate office for their business.
I would recommend that you contact the local city office and inquire about their business license requirement.
Best,
Jim
