be tempted to give a rock bottom price to one biz there ,just to get a toehold in there.It might pay to choose first a biz where you are interested in the stuff on sale ,to give you a reason to call in and linger
shout out howdey matey over to the guard if you get the job , see the guards face
i once gave a very low price just to get a good shot at seeing clearly how a nailbar worked
Business privilege permits are required in various towns. They are required in several towns in south jersey. I know there are outfits that don’t pay the fee and don’t operate in full compliance with local laws and ordinances. There are companies that dont carry insurance so they can charge less and work around the law. Become compliant as soon as you are able. If you are made aware of the law I would recommend following it. It is a bit short sighted for companies to recommend ignoring the law.
Business is about risk management. Minimize your risk and operate as cleanly as you can and it will serve you well in the long run.
