Premises Licence Application

A premises license is required for any premises from which ‘licensable activities’ are conducted. Premises Licence applications are made to the local council in whose area the premises is situated. We can help you if you need assistance in applying for your Premises Licence, charging our usual hourly rate.

Interim/Temporary Designated Premises Manager (DPM)

If your DPM leaves unexpectedly or is ill, you must inform your local Licensing Board within 7 days and apply to replace the DPM within 6 weeks. The DPM role carries many responsibilities. If you don’t have existing staff who could step in within 6 weeks, then we can supply an experienced DPM for you, whilst you recruit a permanent solution. Subject to approval by your local LSO, DPM duties can be carried out remotely at affordable prices. Training can be given to existing staff if required. Flexible and practical service, working to your requirements.
