Preliminary opinion
An opinion given by the licensing authority and/or the permit issuer to a business that has not yet opened regarding the conditions it will be required to meet in order to receive a business permit/license.
Business license
The business license is intended to ensure that all appropriate measures and arrangements are taken to operate a business properly, according to the goals of the Business Licensing Law and for the benefit of the public and the environment.
Not every business requires a license, but only businesses that are defined in the Business Licensing Order (Businesses Requiring Licensing), 2013 as businesses requiring licensing.
Temporary permit
A permit to operate a business, granted by the licensing authority for a business license in a business that requires licensing, for a cumulative period of one year at most. During this period of time, the applicant may operate the business, but must complete the conditions set by the license issuers in order to receive the business license at the end of the period.
License Terms
The licensing authority and the permit issuer may condition the business license, temporary permit or approval, on three types of conditions – a prerequisite, a condition in the license and an additional condition. These conditions are intended to ensure that the licensing objectives are met, and are part of the licensing process. As a rule, the conditions of the permit issuers should appear in the uniform specification (to the extent that a uniform specification has been published for that type of business) and the licensing authority’s conditions regarding types of businesses should appear in the licensing authority’s requirements on its website. Exceptions to this rule appear in Section 7 of the Business Licensing Law.
