Company registration is where a business in Nepal begins, but it is rarely where compliance ends. Most worthwhile activities carry their own second layer: an operating licence, a sector permit, or an approval that gives you the standing to actually do the work. Banks, landlords, buyers and regulators all look for these documents, and a missing one can stall payments, imports or a deal at the worst moment.
Which approvals apply to you
The answer depends on what you sell and where. A restaurant needs a hygiene permit and, if it serves alcohol, a liquor licence. A manufacturer needs industry registration and environmental clearances. An importer needs an import authorisation tied to its PAN and VAT accounts. The practical approach is to map your activity against the responsible ministries and departments first, so you apply to the right authority the first time instead of learning by refusal.
Our licensing team takes that mapping off your plate. We prepare the applications, chase the conditions, and track renewals so your paperwork keeps pace with your business rather than lagging it.
