Licensing

The hospitality industry is highly regulated by various authorities often requiring complex and detailed licensing, businesses are subject to rigorous inspections and enforcement of the law due to public health and safety concerns.

From Restaurants to Hotels and Bars, each one needs to be properly licensed before it can start operating, we understand how challenging it can be to remain compliant.

The traditionally high staff churn within the industry adds to an already demanding to do list and increases the opportunity for inconsistent management and the very real risk of not being compliant.

Our dedicated licensing team are able to offer fast and efficient transfers of licences. Whether it’s a single or multiple transfers due to insolvency, business transfer or death of a licence holder, lets us take the strain.

DPS/DPM Variations

Hospitality is still an industry with a high turnover of staff, to ensure your business remains compliant it is sometimes necessary to vary the licence in order to specify a new DPS or DPM.

Day to day management of your business may mean this gets overlooked, so let our licensing team take care of all the requirements for this application.

Mediation

It’s very common for an operator to have one view on licensing for their business while the relevant authority will see things differently.

Do not let this be a stumbling block for your business, our experienced licensing team, can be objective and see both points of view so, let us mediate to ensure you can avoid an expensive review process.

Reviews & Enforcement

We understand that sometimes things just go wrong in a business, and this can potentially lead to a review of your licence or even revocation.

Our experienced team can advise on the best course of action in order to minimise the effects of any such review.

Licence Holding

In the case of insolvency, CVA’s, defaulting tenants and empty properties, we are often asked to protect licences by transferring them to our Company.

If the premises continue to trade we also carry out due diligence visits to ensure compliance.
