In the interest of full transparency, this page explains how LicensePro earns revenue and how affiliate relationships work on this site.
How We Earn Revenue
LicensePro is a free resource. We earn revenue through two primary methods:
- Display Advertising: We display ads through Google AdSense and other advertising networks. These ads help cover the costs of maintaining and updating our 33 license guides across 495 US cities.
- Affiliate Links: Some links on our site are affiliate links to services we believe can help business owners with their licensing and legal needs, such as LegalZoom, Rocket Lawyer, and business insurance providers.
What Are Affiliate Links?
An affiliate link is a special URL that tracks referrals from our site to a partner's website. When you click an affiliate link and complete a purchase or sign up for a service, we may receive a small commission. This comes at no additional cost to you — the price you pay is the same whether you use our link or go directly to the provider.
Our Commitment to You
Affiliate relationships do not influence our content or recommendations. Our guides are based on publicly available government data and are designed to help you understand the licensing process in your city, regardless of whether you use any of the services we link to.
- We never recommend a service solely because it offers an affiliate commission
- Our licensing guides are factual and based on government requirements, not affiliate partnerships
- You are never required to click an affiliate link or purchase any service
- We clearly distinguish between informational content and service recommendations
FTC Disclosure
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255), we disclose that LicensePro may receive compensation for clicks on or purchases made through affiliate links on this site.
