Register the entity and tax/social-security files

2

Secure premises, municipality and Civil Defence

Syndicate papers for director and staff, then MOH centre file and inspection

Important tip

A PT already listed as technical director on another centre often cannot be named on yours until that appointment is released.

Guidance only — not a licence. Confirm fees, area minima, and portal names with the official regulator before you apply or spend on fit-out.
