Operating licences

Your assignment: records and assessment

An opening or acquisition plan must connect the German operating-licence application with the future pharmacy operation. We organise available records and dependencies between premises, staff, QMS and intended activities. Missing information is identified before it disrupts the handover schedule.

• Proposed site and pharmacy activities
• Layouts, existing records and staffing plans
• Timeline, dependencies and responsible contacts

From findings to implementation

The project provides a records checklist and an action schedule. Discussions with the competent authority are prepared; the authority decides whether to grant the operating licence.

Coordinate operating arrangements with the pharmacy handover

When a pharmacy changes owner, the commercial decision and the operational transition need a shared timetable. A valuation supports the price discussion, acquisition support organises the buyer's review, and succession support prepares the seller's records and handover. Agree each assignment separately.
