01 / Decision point

Create a company-specific obligations register

Start with the entity, activity and regulator. Identify the tax, beneficial-owner, accounting, record-keeping and sector obligations that actually apply. Avoid treating every business as if it has the same compliance calendar.

02 / Decision point

Assign an owner and evidence

For each obligation, record the responsible person, trigger or deadline, required evidence and submission route.

Keep accounting and company records organised from the beginning so a future filing does not become a reconstruction exercise.

03 / Decision point

Review when the business changes

New products, regulated services, ownership changes and expansion can change the compliance picture. Revisit the register before an operational change rather than only at annual renewal. Tax and legal positions require appropriately qualified review.

What else is needed after the licence is issued?

Why this matters

After getting the licence, check banking, accounting, visas, records and any permits needed to operate. Agree who will handle each requirement and keep the supporting documents.

What could change the answer?

New products, services, owners, locations or employees can trigger additional reviews after formation.
