Vantablack practical guide
Understand the decision, identify what can change the route and prepare the right questions for your setup.
Business facts and scope to clarify
Sources, evidence and open questions
Required records and responsibilities
Evidence, review and unresolved gaps
Overview of the guide below. Confirm the requirements for your exact scope; an overview is not an approval.
Describe the customer journey from first enquiry to delivery.
Identify the items your company performs itself, those supplied by authorised third parties and any products it imports or resells.
This reveals gaps hidden behind a broad business name.
Read the activity description alongside the proposed contracts and marketing promises.
Advice, brokerage, treatment, installation and direct sales can require different permissions even when they sit in the same industry.
Use the activity directory to identify candidates, then check availability, ownership, premises and external approvals. A blank field in an old spreadsheet is not confirmation that no approval is required.
Tell us what you will sell, who your customers are, who delivers the work and where you will operate. We use these details to check requirements with the relevant authority before preparing a proposal for your business.
Setup AssistantA business name does not tell you which work the licence allows. Selling, importing, arranging a service or providing it yourself may each need different permissions.
Adding a service, importing directly or taking responsibility for delivery can require a different activity or permission.
