## Operating in Pemberton? Here's what you need to know.
Whether you're starting a new venture, running a home-based business, or setting up a food truck, you'll need a valid business licence to operate in the Village of Pemberton. Business licences help ensure all businesses meet local bylaws and contribute to a safe, vibrant community.
### Who Needs a Business Licence?
If you're offering goods or services within Village boundaries, whether you're a resident or a non-resident, you must hold a current business licence, as required under Business Licence Bylaw No. 855, 2019.
**This applies if you're:**
* Selling, renting (e.g. short-term rentals), bartering, or displaying goods
* Advertising a business
* Providing professional or personal services for profit
**Resident businesses** must display their licence at their place of business.
**Non-resident businesses** must carry their licence while operating in the Village.
### How to Apply or Renew
The Village uses Cloudpermit, an online platform for managing applications and inspections.
With Cloudpermit, you can:
* Apply and renew licences from your phone, tablet, or computer
* Track your application and receive updates
* Communicate directly with Village staff
* Schedule inspections, if required
**Getting started:**
* Create an account at ca.cloudpermit.com/login
* Attach any required supporting documents (see Additional Requirements below)
* Submit your business licence application
* Make your payment:
+ Pay in-person at Municipal Hall (7400 Prospect Street)
+ Online via OptionPay
#### Renewals
Business licences are valid for the calendar year and expire on December 31. Renew by January 31 to avoid a late penalty, in addition to the regular annual fee. For current rates, refer to Schedule F of the Fees and Charges Bylaw.

Depending on your business type, you may need to submit supporting documents.
* Strata or property owner authorization
* Pemberton Fire Rescue checklist
* Sign permit application (for new signage)
* Ministry approvals (for food or personal services)
* Other documents specific to your business or location required by the licence inspector
