Licensing
Premises licences without the council headache
Applying for or changing a premises licence means forms, plans, notices and deadlines. We help you prepare everything properly so it goes to the council right first time. We are not the council — the decision is theirs — but we make the process far less painful.
New licences
Opening a shop that sells alcohol or late-night food? We help with the full application.
Changes
New owner, new supervisor or changed hours — we help with variations and transfers.
Deadlines tracked
We keep an eye on notice periods so nothing is missed.
What we look at first
- Designated premises supervisor details
- Opening hours you want
- Plan of the premises
- Notices and advertising period
- Conditions on the existing licence
- Council fees
Questions shop owners ask us
