Opening a small business used to be popular in San Francisco. Just figure out what was needed in a neighborhood—hardware store, shoe repair, deli—and you were soon ready to begin raking in the money. Now, if the competition from big chains does not sink your plans, the regulations and permit process will likely do so. The City of San Francisco’s website for small businesses advises that a minimum of five licenses or permits are now required to open something as simple as a sandwich shop—even more if the place plans to offer seating or sell alcoholic beverages. Many people give up before even reading to the end of the website.
