DISCOVER 

Why do you need an opening license?

In Tenerife, opening a business or commercial establishment requires an opening license (Licencia de Apertura) due to local regulations that ensure businesses comply with safety, health, and urban planning standards. This license confirms that the premises are suitable for the intended activity, protecting both the business owner and the public. 

Without this license, you cannot legally operate, as it serves to verify compliance with fire safety, accessibility, and other legal requirements. It is an essential step for business owners to secure their investment, avoid fines, and establish credibility in the market.
