Licence cost is more than the application fee. A realistic budget also considers documents, professional reports and renewal obligations.
Application and licence fees
Fees vary by licence type and can change. Check the current official fee schedule immediately before applying.
Document and evidence costs
You may need certified copies, qualification records, recognition services or other supporting documents.
Financial reporting costs
Depending on your licence and financial position, accountant or financial reporting costs may apply.
Renewal and ongoing compliance
Include future renewal fees and any recurring reporting obligations in your business planning rather than treating the licence as a one-off expense.
