How to Verify a Business Setup Consultant's Credentials and Trac

Watch for these behaviors:

• Promising guaranteed approval in unrealistic timeframes
• Pressuring you to pay immediately with limited-time offers
• Avoiding questions about risks or restrictions
• Recommending an activity or license that does not match your actual plans

Honest advisors will sometimes tell you that your plan needs adjustments. That honesty is a sign of expertise.

• Seen and verified their trade license
