Trade License

What is Trade License?

If you plan to establish a business of your own and you have no idea where to start and what approval is needed, then the first thing you need to look is that –whether you want to deal in goods or services and secondly- what will be your place of business. After being clear about the above mentioned points, the next thing on your to-do list is getting a license.

By the way of this license, the government regulates any specific business in a specific locality. The Municipal Corporation of the place grants permission or trade license to carry on a particular trade in a particular locality.
