Apart from legal terms, acquiring licenses has also proved to attract customers and gain their faith in the brand.

Therefore, before you begin the operation, procure all the permits essential for starting the business such as:

Company/ business incorporation

First of all, you need to decide what kind of business entity you wish to run. You can choose from the options given below:

  • Private limited company;
  • Public limited company;
  • Limited liability partnership (LLP);
  • Partnership firm;
  • One person company; and
  • Sole proprietorship.

Once you have decided what business entity you would like to proceed with, we advise you to register your company as per the suitable business entity. Suppose, if you have chosen to operate as a private limited company, then as per the provisions of Companies Act, 2013, you need to register your company with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCAs). In this case, you intend to start your business as an LLP, and then incorporate it under the provisions of the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008.

FSSAI license

Every food manufacturer, distributor, importer and exporter, retailer, wholesaler, etc. is required to obtain a food or FSSAI license mandatorily. One can procure the license from the food department of the particular region or FSSAI (Food Safety and Standard Authority of India). Now, since you’re setting up a water plant, you fall into the category of a manufacturer. Hence, the FSSAI license is one of the prerequisites for starting a water plant in India. In cases, you run the business without a food license; you shall be liable for punishment as well as hefty penalties.

Small Scale Industry (SSI) Registration

SSI registration is basically for industries that are running on a small scale. Therefore, in order to avail several benefits of certain government subsidies, you should surely apply for SSI registration. However, an SSI license is not mandatory to obtain; it is always advisable.

BIS registration certificate

BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) is a governing body that is concerned with the quality inspection of the items or products manufactured in India. The organization is established at an international level and issues the BIS registration certificate to the applicant once it is contented with the inspection and quality check of the product. Hence, if you are running a water plant, it is mandatory to apply for a license from BIS.

Test reports of raw and processed water

After you have obtained BIS certification, you are also supposed to generate a report on raw and processed water from BIS. For the same, you can visit the LWTL (Local Water Testing Laboratory) and get your water tested.

Therefore, again before you begin, obtain the pollution control certification from the Pollution Control Board (PCB) of your state or area.

Hence, we advise you to get the trademark registration under the appropriate trademark class, as soon as you start your business.
