Can I offer a freemium version of my product or service in Alabama? What are the requirements?

Yes, you can offer a freemium version of your product or service in Alabama. However, depending on the nature of your business, you may need to obtain a license or permit to operate in the state. For example, if you plan to sell products door-to-door for profit, you will need a state transient business license and a county business license issued by the commissioner of licenses [2.1]. If you plan to deliver alcohol, you will need to obtain a delivery service license [1.1]. Additionally, you may need to comply with certain training and certification requirements [1.1].

It is important to note that if you plan to sell alcoholic beverages, you will need to maintain liquor liability insurance coverage in the amount of at least one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) per occurrence, exclusive of, and separate from, any attorney fees or other costs incurred in the defense of any claim asserted against the insured [1.2].

Furthermore, depending on the county in which you plan to operate, you may be required to pay an annual licensure or privilege fee. The governing body of the county is authorized to levy an annual license or privilege fee upon any person engaging in any business in the county. The license or privilege fee authorized by this section shall be in addition to any other license or privilege fee provided by law. The fee levied by this section shall be paid annually on October 1 for the succeeding year to the officer or employee of the county charged with the duty of collecting license or privilege fees or taxes payable to the county. Proceeds from the fee shall be deposited in the county general fund for the use of the county [3.1].

It is recommended that you consult with a legal professional or the appropriate regulatory agency to ensure that you are in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
