FROM FIRST CONVERSATION TO HANDOVER
We prepare, coordinate and track the agreed work. You stay involved in the decisions that matter.
Separate a first registration from annual upkeep or category conversion.
Identify inconsistent particulars and the evidence relevant to the chosen route.
Prepare the agreed application or renewal pack.
Record the submission and included follow-up.
Document preparation, council examination and any response to a query are separate stages. Agree what follow-up is included; payment does not promise immediate certificate issuance.
KNOW EXACTLY WHERE YOU STAND
The written engagement confirms your deliverables and costs before work starts.

Neither is a valid summary of AEPC's published joining condition. Its joining text refers to not having been adjudicated insolvent by a competent court. Do not confuse that legal status with simply having a business loan.

No outcome is promised. Ask which separate programme, event or commercial service you need and verify its own conditions before including it in the engagement.
Agree the deliverables upfront: approved application particulars, submission/payment references, the available council result and unresolved queries with a responsible next action. An acknowledgement is not an approval.

| Entry or conversion | For Member Exporter conversion, the current eligibility page specifies at least two years as a Registered Exporter and separate performance conditions. | Do not apply an old three-year blanket test to every new applicant. |
| Actual goods | Describe the garments and your merchant or manufacturing activity. | Confirm the suitable council if the enquiry concerns other textile products. |
| Business particulars | Use the real entity and authorised applicant details. | Do not assume that only companies can seek registration. |
| Current year | Renewal depends on the council's applicable category and annual instructions. | Bring the existing record and current-year payment history before paying again. |
