Overview

How this registration works.

Regulatory registration covers the registrations and regulatory requirements attached to a business, activity or organization — typically licences, permits and similar steps that sit on top of setting the business up. What applies depends on the activity, the sector and the place it operates in, so two similar businesses in different places can face different requirements.

What to work out first

  • What the activity is

    Requirements attach to what you actually do, so describing the activity precisely is the best first step.

  • Where it takes place

    Regulatory requirements are set locally and often at more than one level.

  • Who regulates it

    Some activities answer to a particular regulator or authority. Identifying it is part of the work.

  • When it's needed

    Some activities may not be able to begin until the right registration is in place, so it pays to ask early.

Not sure what you need

You don’t have to know what it’s called.

Most people arrive with a letter, a deadline or a request from somebody else — not with the name of a registration. Tell us what has been asked of you and we will work out which path it belongs to.
