What it is and how we handle it

A trade licence is separate from the shop and establishment registration (a labour-law registration) and from GST. Restaurants, clinics, salons, gyms, warehouses, workshops and most shops need one; some cities exempt pure offices or charge them a nominal fee.

We check the rules for your city and trade, prepare the application with property documents and the owner's consent, follow up on inspection where required, and set renewal reminders — operating with a lapsed licence can attract penalties and sealing in some cities.

FAQs

Common questions for Municipal Trade Licence in Rhode Island.

Search FAQs
5 results.
Is a trade licence the same as a shop act licence?
No. The shop and establishment registration is under the state's labour law and covers working hours, holidays and employee conditions. The trade licence is from the municipal body and covers whether the trade can be carried on at that premises. Many businesses need both.
Can I get a trade licence for a rented property?
Yes. You need a registered rent or lease agreement and usually a no-objection letter from the owner, along with the property tax receipt.
What happens if I don't renew my trade licence?
Most corporations charge a late fee or penalty that increases with the delay, and can issue notices or seal the premises for running a trade without a valid licence.
What is the time difference between Rhode Island and India?
Most of Rhode Island is on Eastern time, so it runs behind India by 9.5 hours in summer and 10.5 hours in winter. We work mostly over WhatsApp and email, so you don't need to match Indian office hours.
Can I get Municipal Trade Licence done while living in Rhode Island?
Yes. This is India-side work, so it is done online and you don't need to travel. If a document must be attested abroad, we tell you upfront whether a notary, a state apostille or an Indian consulate is needed.
