I have ran pubs for over 10 years, and for someone to take the licence on from someone else they have to have the nlc or ncl and have police checks to get the licence,where they have to go to court and appear infront of a licence board to be granted one!

So someone who has their lience cant just go into a pub and take over unless its temp till they get the proper licence, think its six weeks after taking on the pub!

Been out of pubs for a few years so this may have changed now!
