Trade & business licence
Trade and business licence applications
A trade licence is what makes a shop, a stall, or a service business legal to operate, and it is issued locally by the municipal corporation for your parish. We prepare the application, deal with the supporting documents, and file it.
Filed with: Your parish's Municipal Corporation
What is involved
What we handle
- Confirming which licence category your business falls under.
- Preparing the application and its supporting documents.
- Filing with the municipal corporation for your parish.
- Tracking the renewal date once it is issued.
What to have ready
- Your business registration documents.

Requirements, government fees, and processing times are set by the relevant agency and can change. We confirm exactly what applies to your case on WhatsApp before anything is filed.
How it works
- Step 1
Send a short request
Share your name, WhatsApp number, and what you need help with — TRN, licence, property tax, or anything else we offer.
- Step 2
We WhatsApp you back
We confirm the service, documents, fees if any, and timing — all in chat, at a time that works for you.
- Step 3
We file it end to end
We handle the government side and keep you updated until it’s done.
Questions we get asked
- I am starting a small shop. Do I need one?
- Most trading businesses do. Tell us what the business actually does and where, and we will confirm what applies.
- Can you register the business as well?
- Yes — company and business name registration is a separate service we also handle.
