A friend of mine was applying for a trade license for her new showroom. She is paying quite a bit of rent for the showroom. So when she went to the KMC to apply for her trade license she was demanded a bribe of around 10% of the monthly rent she was paying. After shouting at them, they agreed to about 7% of the rent.
She was expecting to pay a bribe but not as much as they were demanding. So I think if you're a small shop owner they will ask for very little. Whereas if you're opening a larger outlet then expect to be demanded around 10% of rent which it seems is negotiable.
