Questions about this service
They are different registers for different scales of enterprise, with different documentation and different obligations. Which one applies is a function of fixed capital and the nature of the activity, not preference.
It depends entirely on the activity and its scale. Some activities require a brief environmental study, others a full assessment, and many require neither. This is assessed at the outset, because it is the step most likely to affect your timeline.
The application and follow up are handled by us. In a small number of cases an office may require a physical appearance or an inspection, and we tell you in advance if your matter is likely to be one of them.
