Choose the level of guidance and support that matches your business needs and timeline. Every program includes education, documentation preparation, and accompaniment through the complete formalization process.
Foundation formalization for new food businesses establishing legal operations
Full formalization including health authority registration and operational compliance
Extended support for established businesses scaling operations and maintaining compliance
Regardless of which program you choose, you'll receive these fundamental components that define our guided approach to food business formalization.
Comprehensive explanation of each requirement, its legal basis, and its practical implications for your business operations. You'll understand not just what to do, but why it matters and how it protects your business.
Complete preparation of all required forms, applications, and supporting documents. We work together to gather information, verify accuracy, and ensure everything is properly formatted for submission.
Physical presence at all necessary appointments with government offices and regulatory authorities. We help you navigate conversations, understand requirements, and build direct relationships with officials.
Careful review of all obtained permits and registrations to ensure they're correct, complete, and properly filed. We verify that every document is in order before considering the process complete.
Each program is designed for specific business situations and goals. Consider these factors when selecting your formalization path:
Essential Start works well if you're just beginning operations, need basic legal registration, and plan to add health permits later as your business develops. This program establishes your tax foundation and municipal operating license.
Complete Compliance is appropriate when you're ready to operate with full legal protection, need health authority registration for food handling, and want comprehensive guidance through the entire formalization process. This is the most common choice for established food businesses.
Growth Partnership makes sense for businesses that are already formalized but want ongoing support, are planning expansion to additional locations, or prefer having expert guidance available for compliance questions and regulatory changes.
If you're uncertain which program fits your situation, connect with our team for a consultation. We'll review your current status, discuss your goals, and recommend the appropriate level of support.
Understanding the typical timeline helps you plan appropriately and set realistic expectations for completing your business formalization.
Initial assessment, information gathering, and documentation preparation. We review your situation and begin assembling required materials.
SAT registration and tax regime setup. Appointments with tax authority and submission of registration materials.
Health authority registration and municipal license applications. Multiple appointments and document submissions during this period.
Kitchen design review, good practices manual preparation, and final permit verification. Completion of all formalization requirements.
Timelines vary based on government processing speeds, document complexity, and municipal requirements. Some permits may be obtained faster, while others may take longer depending on local office efficiency.
Completing the formalization process is an important milestone, but it's the beginning of operating as a formal business rather than the end of your compliance journey.
Every program includes training on maintaining your formalized status:
You'll finish the process equipped to maintain compliance independently, with clear understanding of your ongoing responsibilities and the confidence to handle them correctly.
