This is one awesome company, easier & cost effective compared with using a Solicitors firm. Prices are fair, clear and fixed unlike solicitors firms who wish to charge per hour to challenge a council decision. My consultant Reba was absolutely incredible, her communication was 100% clear and concise every step of the way. She made everything as easy as possible. One of the best companies I ever had the pleasure to deal with.

Nick is amazing, there is nothing he doesn’t know about licensing law and the application process. Our experience was flawless from start to finish, a smooth, efficient and professional service provided by Nick and I can’t recommend him highly enough.

What do I say about The Licensing Guys? From my initial enquiry with Reba I was met with a comprehensive and thorough summary of all relevant factors ranging from the local policies, crime data, cumulative impact data, and industry specific information. That said one thing “These guys mean business”. They are thorough, everything is bespoke, justified, evidenced, and they put everything in writing from the outset. Nothing gives me confidence more than a person who immediately gives me their name and operates in a transparent and accountable manner, confirming everything they say in an email so I know I can rely on it. That’s a rare thing. I knew I was in safe hands and cannot fault the entire process. I was assured there would be no surprises and everything would be with my approval and looking back on it now, I can’t believe how stress free the whole thing has been. Exactly what I aimed for in London with no objections and no hearing. Reba said she does everything possible to avoid hearings but there are no guarantees so we knew it was possible applying for late hours outside the approved policy framework hours. We got what we applied for, no delays, no additional costs, and no hearing. Working with Reba was like having a loyal business partner rather than an outside contractor – I was impressed with how she looked at everything through the eyes of OUR business and made sure the licence will support our business not just today but for many years ahead. They aren’t the cheapest, but in terms of value for money, their experience and determination to help businesses grow and thrive is worth every penny. Having someone like Reba on the end of the phone as your licensing expert is priceless.
