Business start-up activity projects
In Civiltrek Ingeniería we elaborate activity projects for the opening of businesses, necessary to obtain municipal licenses and the legalization of commercial premises, offices, restaurants, industrial buildings and all kinds of establishments.
Our technical team analyzes the characteristics of the premises and the activity to be developed in order to draft the project in accordance with the applicable urban, environmental and safety regulations. The project includes the technical report, plans, normative justification and necessary documentation for its processing before the city council.
In addition, we advise our clients throughout the administrative process, facilitating the obtaining of the opening license or responsible declaration, so that the business can start its activity with all the legal guarantees.

Frequently Asked Questions:
What is a business plan and why does it often become the biggest obstacle to starting a business?
An activity project is the technical document that justifies that a premises complies with all the necessary regulations to develop a specific activity. It is not a simple administrative procedure: it is where it is analyzed whether the space is viable from a legal, technical and functional point of view.
It includes aspects such as fire safety, ventilation, accessibility, facilities, noise and urban planning compatibility. In municipalities of the Marina Alta such as Dénia, Jávea or Teulada, this point is especially sensitive because there are local regulations that greatly condition what activities can be developed and where.
The problem is that it is often the other way around: first you rent or buy premises and then try to adapt them to the regulations. When this is done, it is very common to encounter limitations that require major reforms or even prevent the opening of the business.
What decisions should be made before choosing a location to avoid problems?
Before closing any deal, it is key to check the planning compatibility and technical requirements of the activity. This includes knowing whether the use is permitted, what ventilation or evacuation requirements exist, and whether the space can meet them without complex works.
For example, there are activities that require a smoke vent, and not all premises can install one. Others require certain conditions of accessibility or fire protection that may imply structural modifications.
A prior analysis avoids poorly thought-out investments and allows you to choose a location that is truly viable.
What are the most common errors in this type of project in the area?
The most common is to underestimate the regulations. It is common to think that “if there is already a similar business, you can do the same”, but each case is different and depends on the previous license, the current regulations and the conditions of the premises.
It is also common not to foresee correctly the necessary installations (air conditioning, ventilation, electricity), forcing costly adaptations in advanced stages.
How long does it usually take to obtain an activity license?
It depends on the type of activity, the municipality and whether the project is well planned from the beginning.
Some activities can be processed by means of a responsible declaration (faster), while others require an environmental license or more complex procedures.
In any case, one of the factors that most influences deadlines is the quality of the technical project. Incomplete or poorly prepared documentation often leads to requirements and delays that can lengthen the process by several months.
Is it possible to open a business in a place that already had another activity?
In some cases yes, but not always.
Even if the premises have had a previous activity, it is necessary to check if the new activity is compatible and if it complies with the current regulations. Many times the regulations have changed or the requirements are different.
In addition, it is important to review the actual condition of the premises, as it may require adaptations to suit the new activity.
Why is it important to coordinate the project with specific municipal regulations?
Because each municipality may have its own criteria that directly affect the viability of the business.
Aspects such as noise, opening hours, location or technical requirements may vary, and not taking them into account from the beginning may block the project or require major changes.
That is why it is key to adapt the project not only to the general regulations, but also to the local reality.
