Before we begin

Prepare the right records.

Start with the information below. The final checklist depends on your circumstances, the application or reporting route, and the recipient’s requirements.

Applicant and authorisation records

Identity or entity documents, current tax identifiers and the authority of the person applying.

Location and existing approval records

Supporting premises evidence and earlier licences, applications or authority correspondence.

Records for this service

Business PAN, entity details, address proof, bank information and any existing IEC record.

How it works

From review to handover.

  1. 01

    Confirm applicability and route

    Review the activity, scale, locations and existing approvals to identify the relevant application.

  2. 02

    Review the evidence

    Build the checklist around the applicant, premises and activity rather than a generic document pack.

  3. 03

    Prepare and submit

    Review the application and declarations with you before the agreed submission.

  4. 04

    Track and hand over

    Record queries or approval conditions and explain renewal, update or continuing filing steps.

Plan before you begin

Know the scope, cost and timing.

What affects the quote

Licence category, number of locations, authority charges and amendment or renewal work can change the scope. Ask which applications and query responses are included.

What affects the timeline

Document checks, authentication, premises review and authority queries may affect processing. The applicable route is confirmed before an estimate is given.

After this work

Keep approval records accessible and check renewal dates, changes in activity or address, and any returns attached to the registration.
