Explore where your business idea could fit
Begin with the products or services you want to offer. The Dubiz finder lets you explore activity listings across jurisdictions and save candidates for a more focused launch discussion. Your shortlist is a planning aid; it still needs to be checked against the relevant authority’s requirements.
Build a brief for your company launch
- List your planned products, services and customers in everyday language before searching the activity finder.
- Try related keywords and open possible matches. Keep activities that describe the work you actually plan to do.
- Use the filters to explore jurisdictions, and save useful results with the star button. Retain the jurisdiction as well as the activity code.
- Share your shortlist and business outline with Dubiz to discuss what needs confirmation before you move ahead.
Getting started with your activity shortlist
What if I do not know an activity code?
Start with a product, service or business keyword. The results show the codes attached to matching records. Open the promising matches and compare their descriptions with your intended work.
Can I keep more than one candidate?
Yes, you can shortlist several candidates while researching. Saving entries is a planning step, not confirmation that those activities can be combined under one licence. Ask about the proposed combination before applying.
Why do similar activities appear more than once?
A business idea may have related listings in different jurisdictions or under different codes. Compare the jurisdiction, description and licence category instead of assuming that similar names are interchangeable.
Can Dubiz help when I cannot find a clear match?
Share an outline of what you want to sell or provide, how you plan to deliver it and the entries you have already considered. This gives the Dubiz team a starting point for discussing your activity options and outstanding checks.
Next Step
