What Is a Commercial Business?
Last Updated Apr 8, 2020 12:18:07 AM ET
A commercial business is defined as a business or individual who provides a service or sells physical products. Commercial businesses are also defined as an industrial, retail or commercial business office within the limits of a specific city.
In order for a commercial business to be considered legal, it must have a business license from the city in which it is operating. The business might also have to be approved by the city's Community Planning Department. Before being issued a business license, business owners generally require zoning approval. For any special conditions or restrictions, business owners can receive a conditional-use permit.
