of federal licensing to conduct business, unless you will be engaged in one of
the following activities:
- Rendering investment advice
- Making alcohol products
- Making tobacco products
- Preparing meat products
- Making or dealing in firearms
You would need a Federal permits also to start large
operations such as a television station, radio station, common carrier, or
producer of drugs or biological products. The aforementioned businesses are all
heavily governmentally regulated. For information on federal licensing for these
