To work as - or own a company doing - private security or investigation work you need to apply to the Authority for a licence or certificate first.
The Authority doesn't issue alcohol licences and manager certificates but you can appeal to the Authority if you're not happy with a district licensing committee decision.
Second-hand dealers and pawnbrokers can apply to the Authority for a licence or certificate to do business.
Anyone who wants to run a prostitution business must hold a valid brothel operator certificate or they could be fined. This is not a tribunal or authority process – it's done through Auckland District Court.
