Licences
Your business may need a licence or permissions to operate. These may be administered locally by us, on a county-wide basis by Hampshire County Council, or nationally by Government agencies.
You can use the GOV.UK Licence Finder to identify the licences you will need to operate your type of business.
If you regularly make a payment online you may notice that the payment screen looks different. Do not worry, it should still work as normal, it is just that we are now with a new provider and the screen has been redesigned.
