This section of the website deals with the need for businesses and other organisations to apply for business and street trading licences and registrations. The need for these is driven by current legislation in the UK.

The issue of business and street trading licences is administered by Swindon Borough Council's Licensing Department; contact details for which are below.

Online Facilities

Swindon Borough Council has introduced a new service which enables you to fill out an on screen form and pay application fees, without needing to download or print anything. You will be sent a confirmation e-mail and we will process your electronic application in the normal way. This is a 24 hour, seven day service. Please visit the Additional Applications page to download application forms for these activities.
