What is a Trade License?

A trade license is a document/certificate that gives permission to the applicant (person seeking to open a business) to commence a particular trade or business in a particular area/location. The Municipal Corporation of the state issues the trade license to the applicants.

A trade license ensures that the business or trade is carried on by adhering to all the standards of safety as issued by the State Municipal Corporation. It protects the residents from being affected by any health hazards. All businesses covered under the State Municipal Corporation Act of the state in which they are located must apply for a trade license.

However, the license does not allow the holder to carry out any other trade or business than for which it is issued. Furthermore, this license does not pass on any kind of property ownership to the holder of the license.

Who is Authorized to Issue a Trade License?

As previously stated, trade licenses are generally issued by the licensing department of the Municipal Corporation, which comprises multiple departments, including industries, engineering, and health. These departments provide authorization through formal documentation or certification, permitting businesses to function within their jurisdiction. The issuance procedure may differ from one state to another, contingent upon the rules and regulations set by local government entities, particularly the Municipal Corporation.

Advantages of Trade License

A trade license is needed by a business in order to legally carry out various activities. It is a legal document that provides legitimacy to a company and gives it the ability to perform certain actions in the country in which the trade license was granted. This type of license is only good for the activity it was originally granted for. It does not provide any special permission to carry out an activity other than the one it was issued for.

One reason you need a trade license is that it proves that the activities to be carried out by your company are not going to present any type of health hazard. It also shows your company is not going to perform any actions that would be considered a nuisance. The fee that you will have to pay to get a trade license is determined by the state you are applying for it in. Some cities have their own fees you will have to pay; these fees may be a set amount, or they may be determined by your annual sales.

Disadvantages of Not Registering for a Trade License

If a person starts a business without obtaining a License, the government imposes sanctions in the form of fees and heavy penalties. It can result in the shutdown of the business. So, if a person starts the business and fails to comply with the rules and regulations provided by the government, the said person will be liable for the penalty.

• If the entity is violating provisions of the License, a specified penalty will be imposed on it.
• If renewal of Trade License is delayed, a penalty of 50% of License fee will be imposed.
• There could be situations in which the defaulter is targeted by the appropriate legal action.
