Trade License
Trade License from your local municipal authority.
We identify the licence category that matches your trade, prepare the application for your municipal corporation, and track it through to issue.
What is Trade License?
A Trade License is permission granted by the local municipal corporation or civic body to carry out a specific trade or business activity from a given premises — it exists mainly to ensure the activity doesn't pose a health, safety or nuisance risk to the public.
Requirements, categories (general trade, food-related, hazardous, etc.) and renewal cycles are set by each municipal body, so the process can differ noticeably between cities.
Gurur Consultancy identifies the correct trade category for your business, prepares the application to your municipal corporation, and follows up through inspection and issue where required.
