Apply for a license for a business that resells or recycles products in the city of Kalamazoo, like pawnbrokers, precious metals & gem dealers, and recycling or secondhand dealers. To obtain a license for these types of businesses, the owner and employees may be subject to a background check and fingerprinting. You also have to provide a record of transactions to Kalamazoo Public Safety.
It can take up to three weeks for a business license to be issued while staff review the application, check insurance requirements, and conduct background checks if needed.
