Licences and Permits

Before you open your business, check which licences or permits will be required

The Small Business Development Corporation (SBDC) provides a free online Business licence finder to discover the licences and permits you may need for your business. As a minimum, most businesses will need to apply for an Australian business number or register a business name. However, there may be other licences that are unique to a particular business activity or location, and may include: disposal of trade waste, storing and preparing food, or running a business from home.
