Riverside County Business License

What legal action can a city in california take against a business without a business license?

What legal action can a city in Riverside County, California take against a business that has its state business license and but not a city business license? What are the consequences of opening up a business without the cities consent? Please break down from best scenario to worst if possible. Thanks.

Legally – it depends – The type of business, a company doing business as (DBA) a different name, hobby business, LLC – there are so many factors.

Hope this helps:
Search for the business name in the county: http://www.tlma.co.riverside.ca.us/buslic/
Look up the city: http://www.tlma.co.riverside.ca.us/buslic/cities.html
And the State: http://www.dca.ca.gov/

A business is usually given notice for back fees/ taxes, interest, fines, etc. because the State would rather collect money than move directly to a shut down.
