To start a business in India is exciting but confusing as well. You may find that you’ve established a shop or office and have a new line of questions, such as: What licenses do I need to have? What would be a suitable number of one and two? What’s the consequence of making a mistake?<\/span><\/p>\n

In almost all cases, two kinds of licenses get in the way of every fresh business enterprise, which are the Shop and Establishment License and the <\/span>Trade License<\/span><\/a>. They sound similar. Some people think that they are the same. But they are not, and blending up can cost you money, time, and, if you don’t get it right, can cause a store closure.<\/span><\/p>\n

It details exactly what each license is, which ones to use and which ones not to, the documents you need, how you went about applying for it, and what happens when people don’t do it.<\/span><\/p>\n
