Shop License
Shop licensing looks simple from a distance, but many files stall because people start from the wrong step. The key is to secure the premises documents first, then the tax and commercial track, then the activity-specific requirements. This calculator gives you a fast answer: are you really ready to submit, or still in setup mode?

The purpose of this estimator is to show whether you are at the submission stage or still building the business file itself. The result is procedural, not a formal license decision.
A logical order instead of running in circles
Secure the premises first
Do not start with licensing before you have a clear document for the premises, its address, and its actual use.
Build the tax and commercial file
The tax card and commercial register are not later details; they are part of the business foundation itself.
Understand the activity risk early
An office-like business is different from a food or industrial activity. The more sensitive the activity, the more safety and inspections matter.
Use the portal, but do not rely on it alone
The local services portal is excellent for follow-up and request visibility, but some files still need in-person completion or local authority review.

Where files usually stall
Usually in vague activity definitions, weak premises documents, or tax/commercial work pushed until after licensing.

If the premises file is not ready, licensing is not the first battle.
