Licensing Introduction – What’s the difference between a personal and premises licence?
The personal licence is granted to an individual by their local licensing authority/council. The personal licence allows the holder to sell or authorise (other people) the sale of alcohol. However the personal licence on it’s own is not enough, as there also needs to be a premises licence.
