    We make an effort to keep our website updated, but it's best to double-check before deciding where to operate. (If the city you are trying to look up isn't shown on our website please contact us.) The city clerk is the place to start in the city or township you want to work in. If your area is regulated by the county, you need to check with the county clerk. Your city clerk could tell you if you need a business license to practice and how much you need to pay in fees, if any.
