IMPORTANT NOTE
If you are considering changing your trading entity (ie. from sole trader to a partnership, or from sole trader or partnership to a limited company) it is absolutely vital that you are aware of the implications this will have on your operator’s licence, as it is extremely commonplace for costly errors to be made. Many Public Inquiry hearings before the Traffic Commissioner result from this issue. To avoid unlawful operation, an Operator’s Licence in the new proposed trading entity MUST be obtained BEFORE the change in entity takes place.
DID YOU KNOW…
You are required to notify the Traffic Commissioner in writing regarding ANY changes that may affect your Operator’s Licence.
