You will need to pay a fee for your licence. Please make sure you are aware of how much this will cost.
You will also need to pay the vet's fee for inspecting the premises. As this cost varies depending upon the amount of time the vet takes to inspect, we will ask you to pay this after the inspection has taken place.
