I have applied to the Department of Trade and Consumer Affairs for a trade licence but the establishment is not furnished or the building has not been constructed. How do I get approval from the Environmental Health Division?

A location must be identified and the floor plan submitted for review.  If the design meets specification, a conditional letter is issued by the Environmental Health Division stating that a trade licence can be granted.  After the proposed establishment is inspected and the inspection is passed, a food establishment licence is issued by the Environmental Health Division.
