We issue a range of licences, registrations and permits for activities based in Wandsworth. These are required by law in order to operate many kinds of business activities ranging from hairdressers and catteries to skip permits and venues providing alcohol and entertainment. In some cases the location at which the service is based must be licenced separately from the activity itself (For example massage and special treatment requires both a premises and a personal licence).
This page lists the licences, permits and registrations available. Each licence or permit links to the relevant legislation (national or local). You will also find the relevant application/renewal/change of circumstances forms and information about the fee required and any necessary conditions that must be met.
EU Services Directive
As part of Wandsworth Council's commitment to the EU Services Directive (Point of Single Contact), you can apply for many of our licences online. People based outside of the UK and within the EU who apply to us for a licence online (via the Business Link or UK Welcomes business websites) will be directed to the relevant page on our site.
