Permits and obligations

When you are setting up a company, find out carefully

• what permits or licences you have to apply for
• in which registers you have to enter your company
• what notifications you have to submit and to whom. 

Take into consideration that

• there are special obligations in some sectors
• some notifications have to be submitted regularly
• some permits and licences must be renewed after a certain period of time. 

Instead of several individual permits, you can sometimes apply for permits as a package of permits.
