|---|---|
| Company type | Different structures can involve different authority fees, document requirements, and setup steps. |
| Business activity | Some activities need extra approvals or sector-specific steps before registration or licensing is complete. |
| Document status | Foreign documents may require attestation, legalization, translation, or corporate approval documents. |

| Address or premises | Some setup routes require address, office, lease, or premises-related documents at the licensing stage. |

- The selected structure does not match the intended activity
- Additional approvals are discovered late in the process
