Here's the simple version.
Opening a restaurant needs business registration, a municipal license, and a health/food-safety approval, roughly in that order.
Register your business
Complete company/trade name registration first (see the business registration guide).
Secure a suitable location
Your location generally needs to meet municipal zoning rules for food service.
Apply for a municipal business license
Submit your application to Erbil Municipality with the required documents.
Pass a health/food-safety inspection
A health inspection is typically required before you can open to the public.
