How to start a transport company in the UK?

Описание: When starting a transport company you must first consider where the workload will be coming from. One way of finding work is through contacting a haulier which offers subcontracts.

You must then register the company, whether that be as a sole trader, a partnership or a limited company.

If you are going to be operating HGVs, both nationally or internationally, you will need to register for an Operator's Licence.
If you are working with just vans but wish to transport internationally you will also require an Operator's Licence.

You then need to acquire vehicles, you can do this by buying, leasing or hiring.

You then need to set up a compliance system to ensure you are operating legally. For this you can use a fleet management software.
Our software will allow you to conduct the driver's Daily Walkaround check using the FPDailycheck app, it also allows for all forms of record keeping such as the maintenance history and staff records, licences and training. The software will also allow you to schedule and plan all maintenance events for your vehicles and equipment, as well as giving you email notifications for upcoming events.

You must then consider hiring drivers and ensuring your drivers are following regulations in order to maintain compliance as an Operator Licence holder.

Finally, you must ensure that you manage your finances well to prevent bankruptcy.
