FAQs
Is Trade Licence different from Shops & Establishments registration?
Yes. Shops & Establishments is labour-law registration, while Trade Licence is a municipal permission to carry on a trade within city limits. Many businesses require both.
Do I need a Fire or Health NOC?
Depends on activity and area—restaurants, clinics, and certain warehouses often need additional NOCs. We’ll confirm requirements for your city and trade.
Home-based businesses—are licences required?
Some low-risk activities in residential premises may be allowed with restrictions. We’ll assess zoning and provide alternatives if not permitted.
What about signage and name boards?
Many ULBs regulate signage size, placement and illumination. We’ll guide compliance before your inspection.
