Applying for an Operator's Licence (O Licence) in the UK involves several costs that transport operators should consider. Firstly, there is the application fee, which varies depending on the type of licence and the number of vehicles you intend to operate. Additionally, operators must budget for ongoing costs such as annual fees, costs associated with compliance and safety inspections. Other potential expenses include hiring legal advice to navigate the application process, training for staff on compliance requirements, and investing in proper insurance coverage. Understanding these costs is essential for ensuring that your transport business remains compliant and financially viable.
