If you are about to start opening your own business, it is very important that before formally starting operations, you have in order all the legal requirements and authorizations requested by the authorities in Mexico; This in order to avoid the breach of any law or obligation that in the future in the short or medium term implies an expense for fines, penalties and even a total closure of your establishment.
For this reason, the operational procedures are of vital importance for the survival of your business and the issue should not be taken lightly. Unfortunately in Mexico we lack a legal culture of prevention, so normally, our first priority is to open the business and then start with all the procedures, but this is a bad practice that can trigger multiple legal problems.
For example, operating licenses are an essential requirement for businesses considered "high impact" to offer their customers the sale of alcoholic beverages. If you operate a restaurant without this license while offering alcoholic beverages to your guests, you would be violating an obligation, so you could be credited with the closure of the business, in addition to paying a costly violation.
Some businesses are classified in this category for having at their disposal the sale of alcoholic beverages for immediate consumption, such is the case as:
Also, the authorities request this type of operating licenses for businesses that have to do with the automotive industry, specifically with the sale of used or second-hand auto parts. It even applies to wood sawmills, pawn shops, even companies dedicated to the sale of gold and silver.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Remember that without this license, these businesses cannot operate their commercial activities.
The procedure for obtaining an operating license may vary depending on the municipality or state where you want to open the business and the business line it will have.
The basic documents that the authorities normally request to initiate the process of obtaining the operating license are:
It is essential to emphasize that if the procedure is not carried out well, not only to obtain the operating license but also for any other legal permission for the business, you could uselessly waste your money and time without having obtained your necessary permits.
