DeKalb County residents wanting to start a home-based business can now submit business license applications and other documents and receive a review and license in the same day.

The new process for an over-the-counter review also eliminates the need for repeat trips to county officers for businesses moving into an existing space of 3,000 square feet with no changes.

These changes and others are projected to cut the time from application to business opening from up to six weeks down to 10 days.
