Written scope and acceptance
Overview of the guide below. Confirm the requirements for your exact scope; an overview is not an approval.
Read the steps
- Search the work you deliver — Business facts and scope to clarify
- Read the exact description — Sources, evidence and open questions
- Check the source limitations — Required records and responsibilities
- Shortlist the relevant activities — Evidence, review and unresolved gaps
- Verify conditions before setup — Written scope and acceptance
Understand the source limits
The supplied activity list does not state its issue date.
Empty source cells are omitted from the display; their absence does not mean the condition does not exist.
The directory does not confirm current activity availability.
Turn candidates into a verification checklist
Save the relevant activity references and explain the intended operation to the consultant. Confirm ownership, activity combinations, premises and external approvals before treating a shortlist as a licence recommendation. The branded PDF is a reference copy, not an authority approval.
Bring the business model to the conversation.
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.

Apply this to your business
Does this activity cover the work my company will actually perform?
Why this matters
A 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.
What could change the answer?
Adding a service, importing directly or taking responsibility for delivery can require a different activity or permission.
Check these details first
- Products, services and revenue model
- What you deliver yourself and what authorised suppliers deliver
- The full activity description and its conditions
- Whether the authority allows it and which approvals are needed
