What is the procedure to open a shop?

Question

do we need any documents or certificate obtained from the govt.

Answer 1

you'll need a license with the City and with the County. It would also be a good idea to incorporate. I have an S corp. You can do that with the County. Look up government websites for your local area. It's different city to city.

Answer 2

Dear Mr. Shankar,

Following documents are required to open a new shop:-

1. No objection letter from the owner.

2. Certificate from the Bangalore Mahanagara Palike, to run the shop.

3. Registration Certificate from VAT Office, to run your Business smoothly. ( only if the sales is above Rs. 2 lakh in a year ).

4. Income Tax PAN number.

5. A Current Account in the name of the shop, in a Bank.

If there is no objection from the property owner, you can open your Shop at once. Other formalities can be taken care later.

Good luck.
