Next to a business license, some businesses need additional licenses before they can start their activities. Before applying for these additional permits, the business has to be established and registered at the Aruba Chamber and if applicable, the business establishment license has been applied for. Businesses needing an additional license are food & beverage establishments, wholesale businesses, hotels & guesthouses, water sports & transportation, street vendors, telecommunication companies and equipment vendors as well as medicines and health related products. In certain cases a director's license is also required.
