## What the Constitution provides

The Constitution establishes freedom of enterprise, property rights, protection of competition and judicial protection. These provisions guide laws and public decisions, but they do not replace registration, permits, contracts or tax obligations.

## Before starting

Check the requirements for the exact activity: registration, notice or permit regime, sector rules, taxes, employment and data handling. Land, construction, financial services, education, health care and trade may have additional conditions.

## If a dispute arises

1. Keep the decision, order, contract, correspondence and proof of the date you received the document.
2. Identify who made the decision and the legal provision relied upon.
3. Check any pre-trial procedure and the deadline for a complaint or claim.
4. Seek specialist help for a licence, property, competition or high-value dispute.

Atameken, the Business Ombudsman, the competition authority and the courts have different functions. The Constitutional Court may consider the constitutionality of an applied norm if admissibility requirements are met; it does not replace an ordinary dispute with a counterparty.

## Key Facts

- The Constitution provides baseline guarantees for enterprise and property
- Sector-specific law and transaction documents determine concrete requirements
