Licenses & Permits

Business licensing and regulatory approvals in Uzbekistan

We guide businesses through Uzbekistan's licensing and permit requirements — obtaining the approvals needed to operate, and ensuring those approvals remain valid as regulatory requirements evolve.

Many business activities in Uzbekistan require a specific licence or permit before operations can commence. The requirements vary significantly by sector, and the application process can be complex. Our team has extensive experience working with licensing authorities across a wide range of regulated industries.

We handle the full process — from identifying which licences apply to your business, preparing and submitting applications, liaising with authorities, and managing renewals. When licences are refused or their conditions are disputed, we challenge those decisions through administrative and judicial proceedings.
