Question 1

Which license does my business need?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your business type: food businesses need FSSAI, most local businesses need a Shop & Establishment license, certain trades need a Trade License, and any brand name or logo should get trademark protection. Talk to us and we’ll map out exactly what applies to you.

Question 2

Can I operate before my license is approved?

Accepted Answer

Generally no — operating without a required license (like FSSAI for food businesses) can attract penalties. Some licenses, like a trademark filing, give you a "TM" claim from the filing date even before registration is granted.

Question 3

How long do licenses and registrations take?

Accepted Answer

It varies widely: FSSAI and Shop & Establishment typically take 5–14 working days, trademark filing is done in 2–3 working days (though full registration takes months), and ISO Certification can take 1–2 weeks depending on scope.

Question 4

Do licenses need to be renewed?

Accepted Answer

Yes, most do. FSSAI licenses need periodic renewal, trademarks need renewal every 10 years, and local licenses often renew annually. We track renewal dates so you don’t lapse.
