What the buyer wants
• Provide a reliable saloon taxi or multi-passenger vehicle (MPV) suitable for 1–8 passengers • Operate fixed school runs Monday–Friday on the specified timetable • No passenger assistant role is required (driver only)
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: You must hold a valid UK taxi or private hire vehicle license and pass an Enhanced DBS check; most self-employed tradespeople without these licenses and clearances cannot operate school transport legally.
