Do you need a licence or permit to open a ZEN Business account?

Updated:

Some types of business need a licence or permit. Here's what to upload if yours does.


When do you need a licence or permit?

If your activity needs a licence or permit in any country where you operate, we can only approve your application if you have a valid one. Without it, we can't open the account.


What should you upload?

Upload a copy of your licence or permit. It must show:

  • The authority that issued it
  • The licence number and status
  • The company that holds the licence
  • The activities and countries it covers
  • The expiry date, if there is one

How do we check your licence?

We check it in the regulator's public register. The company named there must be the company that applies for a ZEN Business account.


What if the licence belongs to another company?

Explain on what legal basis your company operates under that licence. Then upload the agreement that supports this.


Not sure if your business needs a licence?

Ask us directly in the task in the MY.ZEN.COM portal. For other questions, contact ZEN.COM Support using one of the contact methods below.
