What are regulatory practices?

Regulatory practices can be defined as rules and laws persons must act in
accordance with when establishing and conducting the business.

Regulations regarding a Sole Trader


As far as the sole trader is concerned, there are very few regulations in the
setting up of a business. In fact, many sole- trader type businesses do not have
any requirements to satisfy at all. A few might be required to have permits or
licences in order to operate businesses. For example, those involved in handling
food, say at a restaurant, are required to have a food-handlers permit. They are
also required to take a medical examination to satisfy the authorities that they
are in good health as, otherwise, they could spread diseases.

Licences:
Persons who are engaged in trades, such as electricians and plumbers, must be
licensed. Some are required to sit and pass examinations which qualify them to
receive their licences and practise unsupervised.
