What you need to know
The BLIS provides information on business licensing and compliance requirements for local councils, and the Northern Territory and Australian Governments.
If you are starting a new business, or buying, selling, franchising or expanding an existing business, BLIS will help identify the licences you need.
Business licensing information, application forms and contact details on the BLIS are updated daily.
About the BLIS
The Northern Territory BLIS is provided by the Northern Territory Government through the Department of Business, Economic and Regional Development (DBERD).
The Department, in conjunction with a network of Territory Business Centres (TBCs), provides a range of services to business.
