Starting Your Business

The Doing Business in Utah publication provides information and instructions on how to start a business, regulations that need to be complied with, sources of assistance and much more. Although it is a step-by-step guide for new business owners, existing business owners may also benefit from this information and are encouraged to use this publication.

This booklet contains information on various local, state, and federal guidelines. However, due to the variety of business structures and natures, no one business will need to follow all the requirements.

Please review the material carefully so you can assess and identify which local, state, and federal requirements are necessary for your business.
