Hi fellow club members!
I want to open a coffee shop (more of tea shop but I guess its the same as far as licensing goes) in borivali, Mumbai. The shop will be rented and about 150 - 200 sqft, will have a gas connection or gas cylinder and a stove.
The coffee or tea will not be served inside or anywhere near the coffee shop. The coffee will be provided to nearby commercial shops.
I want to know the following.
1. What are the different types of licenses needed (compulsory) to open this kind of shop?
2. Are there any other legal formalities apart from licensing?
3. How much time will it take to secure these licenses and which governments departments are concerned with these licenses?
4. How much money will it cost? Including all official and unofficial cost.?
I think I would certainly need to consult a advocate/lawyer so if anyone of you lives nearby borivali and has times please let me know. I'll be glad to meet you.
P.S. - I am new to this forum so apologies if I have broken any rules.
