To become licensed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Explosives (BATFE) you must meet certain requirements and complete an application.  BATFE regulates businesses that engage in the sale and service of firearms.  Not only does it process your application and either approve or deny it, it also regulates periodic checks of the records you keep once you are in business.  You will not have a lot of difficulty meeting the federal regulations but you must make sure that everything is in order before you actually complete and submit your application to BATFE.  FFL licensing has a number of requirements and guidelines that you need to follow.
