All the troublesome procedures were taken care of for me
The notification process was much more complicated than I expected, involving police, government offices, and making floor plans. Thanks to the administrative scrivener, I could leave everything to them with confidence. There were no mistakes, and the time and stress were greatly reduced, so I could focus on preparing to open my business.

The administrative scrivener answered my basic questions thoroughly, supported me with all the documents and drawings, and handled all communication with the authorities. I could focus on opening my bar and felt very reassured. Hiring a professional was the right decision.
