yes you do.. assuming this is a well thought out plan - you need to get approvals and permits from various bureaus, including department of health.

get a hold of an accountant - that's important and most accountants are well connected, as well they are quite knowledgeable of the requirements.

you can visit any DTI office to get a list of the requirements needed.

DTI offices in link above

This link gives some ideas about the process to get going

PM me if you need contact numbers.
