Looking to open up a shop in NJ...? -

Im looking to open up a shop in NJ...piercing and tattoo parlor in the basement,performance area/coffee/alternative book shop in the upper area..what kind of licenses would i need?

City business license for sure.I would get liability insurance before you start. ( Ask for business insurance, and get a lot of quotes.)Pretend you are a customer and call some places and see what they are doing for the safety part of the business.You have a very good idea having your business in the basement of an alternate book store coffee area, etc.
