Questions to prepare before your enquiry

A useful enquiry describes what you need, the facts that affect it, and the outcome you expect. Keep copies of written quotations and clarify exclusions before agreeing to a service.

  1. Describe the actual business activity and how you plan to earn revenue.
  2. List the owners, their residency and whether an existing foreign company is involved.
  3. Ask which registrations and sector-specific permissions apply to that exact activity.
  4. Request an itemised quote separating government charges, provider fees and renewals.
  5. Confirm who handles banking, tax registration, premises and post-registration obligations.

Turn your checklist into a brief

Summarise your circumstances, location, desired timeline and the questions still unanswered. At the enquiry stage, avoid sharing identity documents, banking passwords or sensitive records. A provider can explain its secure document process if you proceed.
