Zinc workers almost always operate at the interface of other trades, roofing first. The exact scope of the licence determines what you may invoice in your own name and what must be subcontracted: a scope drawn too narrowly turns won projects into passed-through invoices. We frame that scope with you before filing.

How does the filing proceed?

We prepare the file, submit it on MyGuichet to the Directorate-General for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises and follow it through to the decision. You sign, we do the rest; the flat fee is confirmed in writing before any hour is billed.

Should you combine it with the roofer's licence?

If your order book mixes zinc work and roofing, the combination is prepared in a single file where the manager's qualification allows it. In a company formation, qualification work is absorbed by the single EUR 2,049 flat fee; details, site VAT and payroll included, on the 2026 fee grid.
