Will I need to pay a deposit and how do I pay the monthly rent?

At the start of the Licence, we ask you to pay a refundable deposit of £20 per security pack (key/fob/pass) and a refundable deposit for the office, which is the equivalent to one months' licence fee. (no vat applied to deposits)

Your monthly rent is called a Licence Fee and is payable monthly in advance by standing order.

What insurance will I need?

Building insurance is covered in your Licence Fee. You will need to arrange your own contents insurance, public liability insurance and any insurance your business requires.
