trade licensing

Trade licensing is a legal requirement that permits individuals or businesses to engage in specific trades or professions. It ensures that they meet certain standards of quality, safety, and expertise. Licensing is typically granted by government authorities and involves an application process, which may include inspections or examinations. This regulation protects consumers by ensuring that service providers are qualified and that their work adheres to industry standards. Different professions—such as electricians, plumbers, and healthcare providers—often require distinct licenses, reflecting the varying levels of skill and responsibility involved.
