Business Start-Up Licenses: A Regulatory Guide
Fifth Edition
This guide is intended for aspiring, new, and veteran entrepreneurs looking to obtain a license/permit/approval/certificate for their businesses. The objective is to provide the entrepreneurs with a step-by-step guide on:
- Who to contact to collect the preparatory information regarding the application
- What supporting documents to collect and collate to prepare the application
- When to pay the associated fees for the application
- Where to submit their application
- How to seek subsequent renewals
The guide concentrates on demonstrating the interaction of the applicant with the issuing agency using the “process map” provided in the guide for each of the licenses, and such other items. Hence, it will help you identify the steps to intervene to speed up the process.
At the same time, it should be realised that there is no hard and fast rule to fast track the process. Consequently, this guide does not furnish definitive ways in which to do it. Each license/permit/approval/certificate has had and will have different overriding challenges. Correctly identifying those challenges and managing those issue forms an integral part of the solution. In such a view, this guide simply looks to serve as a “one-stop information source” on business licensing needs, as well as some practical tips on overcoming some of the challenges.
