Kiwango cha ada ya leseni kinatofautina kulingana na aina ya biashara husika na eneo ilipo biashara hiyo. Mfano: Kiwango cha ada za Lesseni kwa Halamshauri ya Jiji na Manispaa ni tofauti na za Halamshauri ya Wilaya na maeneo ya vijijini.

Baada ya ulipaji wa ada hiyo mfanyabiashara atapatiwa stakabadhi kwa malipo halali ya Fedha yake
