Set up your business

Pick everything that applies — most businesses are more than one of these. The next step asks a few specific questions for each one you pick, and nothing here changes your live setup until Mizo reviews and confirms it with you.

WarrantyWarranty modules and claims. Heavily Emtel-specific (battery module serials).RepairsRepair orders — parts consumed fixing a unit, billable or under warranty.HelpdeskSupport tickets.ProjectsProject tracking and cost summaries.Container ShipmentsBulk commodity container tracking (Zawiah's Rhodes grass / alfalfa trade).ManufacturingBill of materials / production for the battery & rectifier business.Telecom InfrastructureTower rollout, in-building coverage, and hybrid power sizing projects. Deliberately not licensed by default for any organization — a niche vertical, not a general-business module.Point of SaleCounter sales, refunds and shift sessions for a retail or restaurant outlet. Off by default for every organization — a POS is a fiscal reporting endpoint in several jurisdictions (Pakistan's FBR/provincial regimes among them), so it must never appear for a tenant who has not deliberately licensed it.ProcessingStock transformations that are not manufacturing — converting one stocked item into another. Bale conversion (single-press to double-press, value difference to STOCK ISSUE DIFFERENCE) is the first process type; the module is designed to accept others. Separate from Manufacturing, which builds assemblies from a bill of materials.Real Estate DevelopmentDevelopment projects, units, buyer bookings, payment plan templates, and construction milestones — real and built (20 Aug 2026), researched against actual Dubai off-plan mechanics: EOI/booking deposits, SPA signing, the 4% DLD fee, Oqood interim registration, RERA Law No. 8 of 2007's escrow-trustee requirement, and construction-linked/calendar/post-handover payment structures. Every installment invoice posts as a liability (a deposit held), never as revenue — IFRS 15's own guidance is that revenue-recognition timing for real estate depends on the specific facts of each contract, which this system cannot determine safely; reclassifying to revenue is a real journal entry an accountant makes outside this module. The VAT zero-rating (new unit, first sale, within three years) vs exemption (resale) distinction the onboarding wizard already researched (src/lib/onboarding/wizards/realEstateDevelopment.ts) is exposed as an explicit choice on each invoice, never guessed. mizo-841 added buyer KYC (gates the SPA), a post-dated cheque register whose clearing creates a real cheque Payment, a per-project escrow ledger with trustee retention, broker commissions that settle into a DRAFT vendor bill, DLD registration stages, cancellation with the Law 19/2017 Art. 11 retention tiers (configurable, capped at the statutory maximums), plot/zoning readouts, a collections report and a payment demand notice PDF. NOT built: escrow bank integration/reconciliation, DLD/RERA API submission, assignment-sale (resale before completion), or a snagging/handover checklist.Real Estate BrokerageCommission-based property agency work. Genuinely different from Development: a brokerage never holds escrow funds directly (that sits with the developer's RERA-approved trustee bank), commission rate varies sharply by deal type (around 2% on a resale, typically 0% buyer-side on off-plan since the developer pays the broker directly, capped near 5% on a rental), and every individual agent needs their own RERA broker card (BRN) — the firm's trade license alone doesn't cover that. Has a real onboarding wizard (its answers still only ever reach an OnboardingModuleProposal reviewed by Mizo staff, never applied automatically). Deal creation, commission rules, and commission splits are real and built separately (mizo-468, 20 Aug 2026) — the schema (BrokerageDeal/BrokerageCommissionSplit/BrokerageCommissionRule) existed earlier and had no UI until then. No RERA/BRN registration tracking or escrow-side reconciliation exists yet.Energy as a ServiceHybrid site design and energy-as-a-service pricing — BUILT AND VERIFIED, unlike the intake-only verticals registered alongside it. Nine pure engines cover solar/battery/supercapacitor/generator sizing, month-by-month solar yield from real astronomy, seasonal diesel forecasting, fuel-indexed tariffs with an absorption band, a payback-to-price curve, battery chemistry comparison on levelised cost, and two-sided battery lease pricing. The physics and finance are derivable from first principles and are checked against independently known facts (solstice declination, equatorial day length, polar night) rather than against themselves. What the module REFUSES to invent, and requires as real input: a site's measured irradiance (import from NASA POWER or PVGIS) and real supplier pricing. It computes no tax anywhere — returns are explicitly pre-tax.RestaurantTable service: menus with time-bounded prices per service mode, open orders that live while courses are added, tables including merges, and settlement through the POS ledger path. SEPARATE FROM POS and dependent on it — POS is a counter that rings up and posts in one act; a restaurant order is open for twenty minutes before anyone pays. A shop wanting a till should not be handed table management, and enabling POS alone does not license this.Gold & JewelleryKarat/weight/making-charge pricing for gold jewellery, and the daily gold rate used to price it (21 Aug 2026) — real, built. Retail sale to an individual carries VAT as normal, and posts through the exact same invoice/postInvoice() every other retail sale already uses; only the SALE PRICE calculation is gold-specific (weight x karat/24 x rate, plus a fixed/percentage/per-gram making charge — verified against real published examples, 15,013 fuzz checks). A B2B sale between two VAT-registered dealers uses a reverse-charge mechanism instead (the buyer self-accounts for VAT, the seller charges none) — this is NOT built, deliberately: it needs a structurally different posting path than the retail one, not a different tax-category value, and getting it wrong risks real FTA penalties. Has an onboarding wizard capturing real answers from a real dealer; those answers still only ever reach an OnboardingModuleProposal reviewed by Mizo staff, never applied automatically.PharmacyRegistered-medication and controlled-substance flags on products, and a dispensing log that genuinely reduces stock (21 Aug 2026, real, built) — via the same applyStockMove() every other stock issue in this app already uses, not a parallel mechanism. A pharmacy's sales tax rate depends on whether an item is a registered drug (zero-rated) or general retail — supplements, vitamins, cosmeceuticals — (standard-rated), and that classification has changed by legislation recently rather than being stable; multiple sources name assuming all healthcare products are zero-rated as a common, serious FTA audit finding. A separate advance-tax layer also applies to distributors and retailers in the medicine supply chain in Pakistan specifically, distinct from the sales tax on the medicine itself — not verified this session, carried forward from this entry's own prior research rather than silently dropped. This never decides the tax category automatically — the real rule is applied per invoice line by a person. Batch/expiry tracking for medicine already exists (mizo-467/469, product tracksExpiry + lot expiryDate + receipt-to-lot assignment) and is reused directly rather than duplicated.General TradingImport/export and general trading — REGISTERED, NOT YET BUILT. Landed cost (customs duty and freight rolled into inventory value), multi-currency exposure, and LC-based payment terms. Overlaps meaningfully with capability this system already has (FIFO cost layers, multi-basis shipment cost allocation) more than the other three modules here — a real trading company's onboarding answers will show how much of this is genuinely new work versus configuring what already exists.ConstructionContracting and construction — REGISTERED, NOT YET BUILT. Progress billing against certified milestones, retention withheld until a defect-liability period ends, and a subcontractor payment chain. Secondary sources actively DISAGREE on whether VAT is calculated on a milestone's full certified value or net of retention — exactly the kind of detail that must come from a real contractor's own certified invoice, not a guess, before any posting logic is written. Onboarding wizard only for now.Construction DesignDesign quantity take-offs into BOQs (built 22 Sep 2026). Import a take-off per design model and version -- a Revit schedule export, an ETABS material list, or a hand-made sheet (CSV/XLSX, English or French headers, metric or imperial) -- compare versions, map groups to BOQ lines with rules, and create a BOQ draft or a new revision that then feeds requisitions, RFQs and the PO budget check. NOT built yet: a live Autodesk Platform Services (Revit/Forma) or CSI ETABS connection -- files are uploaded, not pulled.MarketingMizo Marketing (built 6 Oct 2026, mizo-894): campaigns with objective, channels, dates, budget and owner; a content calendar per channel with an approval step before anything is published; events and other non-digital activity; spend against budget; and leads (opportunities) attributed to a campaign, giving cost per lead and per won deal. Posting is recorded by hand: no direct connection to Meta, LinkedIn or Google yet.ProcurementMizo Procurement (mizo-895, 7 Oct 2026): sourcing, separate from Purchasing. Client requirements arrive by e-mail (support@ intake), the portal or staff; each is checked, clarified and approved before any RFQ goes to a supplier, then run as a client project with its team, questions and decisions, timeline and correspondence, and RFQ packages (sealed bids, four-desk review, value engineering, landed cost). The client follows it live in the customer portal. An award leads into a purchase order in Purchasing. Sold on its own as Mizo Procure, or alongside the rest of the platform.
