4-Business License Requirements Form.pdf

This file contains business license requirements issued by the City of Little Rock Treasury Management Division applicable to entities bidding on or performing work for the City of Little Rock, Arkansas. The requirements establish licensing obligations based on the business location and jurisdiction. Businesses with physical locations within Little Rock must obtain a business license for each location. In-state businesses based outside Little Rock are subject to their home city's licensing requirements, and Little Rock will honor those licenses if comparable to the work being performed. Out-of-state businesses without Arkansas physical locations must obtain a Little Rock business license unless they already hold a comparable license from another Arkansas municipality. However, out-of-state businesses are exempt from licensing requirements solely for bidding purposes; licensing becomes mandatory only if the out-of-state company wins a contract and establishes a permanent location within Little Rock for the project duration. Non-profit organizations are fully exempt from business license requirements.

The Treasury Management Division maintains authority to determine the validity of all business licenses submitted. The specific business license classification must align with the type of work the company will conduct in Little Rock. Additional information and assistance regarding business license requirements may be obtained through the City of Little Rock Treasury Division, with Scott Massanelli serving as the Treasury Manager. No pricing, set-asides, or funding information is addressed in this requirements document, as it serves solely as a licensing eligibility and compliance guide for potential bidders and contractors.
