Business licences and funding plans, prepared for you

Some businesses need an approval before they can open the doors: a liquor licence from the province, a Certificate of Acceptability for food premises from the municipality, or registration with the NCR (National Credit Regulator) for anyone who lends. We prepare the application, and the plan funders ask to see, from R690.

Frequently asked questions

Do you lodge the liquor licence for me?

No. The liquor licence pack, R1 490, prepares your provincial application: the forms, the notices and the zoning and police steps. You lodge it with your province.

What is a food business certificate?

It is the Certificate of Acceptability a food business needs from the municipality. The pack, R690, prepares the application with a readiness checklist so your premises have the best chance of passing the health inspection first time.

Who must register with the NCR?

Anyone lending, selling on instalment, renting to own or running a pawn business. Every credit provider must be registered since 2016 or the loans are void. The service is R1 990, with the application lodged and chased, and the NCR fees of R1 800 charged at cost.

What does the business plan include?

A lender ready plan with a three year forecast for a bank, SEFA (Small Enterprise Finance Agency) or NYDA (National Youth Development Agency) application, written from your numbers. It is R1 990 and typically takes 5 to 7 business days.
