Apply for permission - insolvent brothel managers

The rules around spent convictions have changed. For more information about how the Business Licensing Authority now treats that information, view the Spent convictions page.

If you are currently approved as a brothel manager and become insolvent under administration, your approval is automatically cancelled and you cannot manage a brothel. However, you can apply for permission to the Business Licensing Authority (BLA) to continue to manage a brothel.
