Code requirements are a wide-ranging collection of laws that govern a vast array of procedures and conduct. These standards are in place to protect customers and clients, and oftentimes, the state requires that businesses keep licenses so that the state level government can keep track of the company’s code compatibility.
In the case of a restaurant, cleanliness and health code compliance can determine whether the location stays open for business or is shut down for code violation. Liquor licenses are also issued and renewed only if a business stays in compliance of state and local code.
Any small business owner knows that small code violations can mean major fines and revenue loss. Keeping in mind that laws and codes are not the same from state to state, it is essential to check with state agencies to determine the necessary protocol to obtain a license.
