  • Allow you to trade without facing penalties or fines.
  • Common licenses or permits may include:
  • Operating from specific locations, such as your home or a mobile van.
  • Meeting legal requirements for taxation or workplace health and safety.
  • Playing or using music in your workplace, on hold, or your website.
  • Performing certain tasks like running a food business, working at heights, or handling hazardous waste.
