I am curious about startup law related to business licensing and permits.

If you are starting a business, including a startup, you must comprehensively review matters such as business licensing, registration, and reporting for the relevant type of business.

If you run a business without a license or registration even though it is a type of business that requires a license or permit, it constitutes an illegal business operation.

In that case, you not only receive disadvantages such as closure of the business, an administrative fine, and the like from the administrative authorities, but also cannot apply for a business registration certificate at the tax office, so there are many operational difficulties.

Of course, in most types of business you can start a business without special regulation or restriction, but exceptionally there are cases where a separate procedure is required.

Therefore, you must first check whether there is any special regulation or restriction on your type of business and prepare the corresponding facilities and legal arrangements in advance.

For example, to operate a waste treatment business, you can carry out the business only after obtaining permission from the Minister of Environment or a Mayor or Provincial Governor under Article 25 of the Wastes Control Act.

Because legal assistance may thus be needed depending on the type of business and the situation regarding licensing and permits, if you are curious about more details, it is advisable to seek advice from an attorney regarding startup law.
