The right structure depends on who you sell to, where you operate and how you plan to grow. A short guide to the questions that matter.
Who will your customers be?
Where you plan to trade, and with whom, shapes which licence and location make sense. Requirements differ, so confirm current rules with the relevant authority or a licensed adviser.
Write down your target customers first. It makes every other decision easier.
What will the business do?
Your business activity determines the type of licence and the approvals you need. Be specific about what you will sell and how.
Vague activity descriptions lead to delays.
Plan the digital launch early
A company is not a business until customers can find it. Plan the brand, website and enquiry process alongside the paperwork, so you launch ready to sell.
This is where a joined-up team saves weeks.
