Service Overview

Operating specific businesses requires licensing from state and municipal authorities. We manage applications for Import Export Code (IEC) from DGFT, food safety licenses (FSSAI) for food items, and local Shop and Establishment licenses to set up operations legally.

Why this matters: Trading goods internationally without an IEC code, or running food services without an FSSAI certificate, is a punishable offense with high fines.
