Starting a Physical Security Consulting Business: What Licenses and Registrations Do You Need?

Dear Members, What licenses, documentation, and processes are required to start a physical security consulting services business? Is there any specific registration body where registration is required to be done? Requesting members and experts to please guide.

Thanks

As you have asked for legal formalities to start a security agency, of course, you do need to get several registrations for your business as follows:

1. Company/Firm Registration (Proprietorship, Partnership, Pvt. Ltd., or Public Ltd.)
2. License under PSARA, i.e., Private Security Agencies Regulation Act, 2005
3. PF & ESI Registration
4. Service Tax
5. TAN for TDS

The above registrations are required to run this business. Hope you have got what you are looking for.

Thanks & Regards,
