Source: official IFZA activity list (activities.ifza.com), downloaded 27 October 2026. IFZA can update its list; we check your activities against the latest version before you apply.

How to choose your IFZA activities

  • Start with what you will invoice for. Your activities must cover what you sell, or banks and clients may ask questions.
  • Pick 3 that cover your business. They are included in the licence. More can be added later.
  • Professional or commercial? Professional = services and consulting. Commercial = buying and selling goods. You can combine both.
  • Check approvals early. Activities marked "Needs approval" need a green light from another authority, before or after the licence.
  • Think about the name. Your company name usually includes a word from one of your activities, for example "Nova Management" for a management consultancy.

IFZA activities: common questions

What people ask us when they pick their activities.

How many activities can I have on an IFZA licence?

An IFZA licence includes 3 activities. You can add more, up to 10 in total, for an extra fee per activity. We confirm the exact cost for your activities on a free call.

Can I mix professional and commercial activities?

Yes. IFZA lets you combine professional activities (services, consulting) and commercial activities (trading goods) on one licence. We check that your combination works before you apply.

What is the activity code?

Each IFZA activity has a 7-digit code, shown next to its name. It is printed on your trade licence and banks use it to understand what your company does.

Which activities need extra approval?

243 of the 827 activities need approval from another authority, such as the Department of Food Control, the Roads & Transport Authority or the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority. Some approvals come before the licence is issued, others after. Use the "Needs approval" filter to see them.

Can I change or add activities later?

Yes. You can add or change activities later through a licence amendment. If you add many activities, it can be worth moving to a licence that includes more.

Are crypto and virtual asset activities allowed at IFZA?

Some are, such as virtual asset advisory or broker services, but they need approval from the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA). Search "virtual" to see them.

What if my activity is not on the list?
