Our experts will help you determine exactly which licenses you need to run your business.
Is a business license the same as registering a business?
Many business owners can understandably be confused by the differences between licensing and business registration. While business registration creates the structure and legal basis for your business, licenses also give you the right to carry out certain types of activities.
One of the most common examples of an activity that requires a license is educational activity. An educational license does not create a business structure, it only allows your business to teach clients various disciplines. The licensing process simply allows the executive authorities to ensure compliance with the requirements of the law regarding activities that would otherwise be difficult to control.
What happens if I don't have a license for my type of activity?
If you run a business without the appropriate licenses, you may be fined or even suspended.
