Licensing & Permits in Mozambique
Trading legally requires more than a registration certificate. We map every licence your activity needs and manage the applications.
Licence mapping before you file
We audit your intended activity against municipal, sector and environmental requirements, then sequence applications so prerequisites are satisfied in order rather than discovered mid-process.
Premises and inspections
Many licences depend on the premises themselves — zoning, fire safety, health or environmental conditions. We flag those requirements before you sign a lease, not after.
Frequently asked questions
How long is an alvará valid?
Validity and renewal cycles vary by municipality and activity. We track expiry dates and handle renewals ahead of time.
