Common questions

FAQs about this service.

How long does licensing take?
Most licences are obtained within 15–20 days if applications are filed correctly. We file from Day 5 so most are in hand before the store launches.
What happens if an inspection occurs?
We prepare your store for compliance inspections as part of the setup — correct record-keeping, display requirements, and hygiene standards built in from day one.
Do you handle licences for multiple stores?
Yes. Multi-store operators benefit from our compliance retainer — one fixed monthly fee covers all stores, all renewal dates, and all filings.
What if a licence gets rejected?
We handle resubmission or appeal at no additional charge for the original filing.
