At Saracens we provide comprehensive and sound advice on licensing issues that may face your business.

The licensing laws in the U.K were subject to radical change at the end of 2005. We will keep you up to date with all relevant changes, how they affect you and your business.

Those who have recently set up new businesses or are intending to do so will require professional advice on the necessary licences to obtain, the application process itself, the completion of the same and what to do if you are held in breach of any regulations.

Our clients have advised us that most of the problems that they encounter within licensing law is in the actual application process itself. Therefore our methods are tailored around a joint effort during the initial application. We advise and aid in the completion of the application packages themselves to ensure that the process is as smooth as possible. A comprehensive application will make it easy for licensors to comply with any regulatory framework and avoid any compliance issues.

We have extensive experience to assist you in the preparation of applications and advise on the effect of the new legislation and generally with regard to any aspect of licensing law. We can assist and represent you if the Health & Safety Executive wishes to investigate your business to check for compliance with the licensing laws.

We also advise about applications in relation to the provision of foodstuffs under the graded licence system. This is a licensing system which is graded according to the type of food offered for sale/ consumption. Nobody in the U.K is able to provide food for sale without the appropriate licence.

If you wish to discuss any licensing issue or require any further information please call us without hesitation.
