4. Apply and pay for a health and beauty licence

You should know

As the owner of the business it is your responsibility to get all other necessary consents, permits and licences.

This includes those under:

  • the Building Act 2004

A licence does not mean you have building or resource consent approval.

If you need a building consent, it is your responsibility to make sure you have a Code Compliance Certificate or a Certificate of Public Use before you start trading.
