Transfer a Premises Licence

Information for people who need to transfer a premises licence to another person or company.

You can transfer a premises licence to another person or company. This usually happens when the premises has been sold from one person/company to another.

A transfer of the licence only changes the identity of the holder of the licence and does not alter the licence in any other way.
