Two of these are gate conditions rather than administrative steps. CIPC registration and tax compliance are Gate 1 conditions because no South African funder beyond Stage 1 will consider an application without them, and egg grading and marking compliance is a precondition for the local-trade and retail pricing in Section 11. Both are cheap to obtain early and expensive to retrofit.
