Trade Licenses & Municipal Business Certificates Services
Municipal trade licenses, Shop & Commercial Establishment Act registrations, Import Export Code (IEC), and local regulatory certificates.
Overview & Legal Requirements
Operating a physical commercial enterprise—whether a retail storefront, warehouse, showroom, workshop, or corporate office—requires compliance with local municipal municipal corporation acts and state labour welfare legislations. Foremost among these are the Municipal Trade License issued by the local Municipal Corporation / Nagar Nigam and the Shop and Commercial Establishment Act Registration (Gumasta license / Shop Act) administered by the state Labour Department.
A Municipal Trade License certifies that the trade conducted on the premises complies with civic safety, sanitation, and zoning standards, ensuring the business does not cause public nuisance or health hazards. Similarly, Shop Act registration regulates working hours, employee wages, weekly offs, and health conditions while serving as the primary legal proof of establishment required by commercial banks to open a business bank account.

We verify your commercial premises categorization, prepare site layout plans and signboard photographs, file applications on the state urban development and labour portals, and secure your approved licenses without bureaucratic roadblocks.
