Read moreIn business, there are two ways that you can occupy a property for commercial purposes. Generally speaking, your business will either take out a lease on a property or will obtain a licence to occupy. Whilst these two terms may appear to be relatively similar on the face of it there are some fundamental differences, such as rent and exclusive possession. The most significant difference is in the way in which the land is seen from a legal perspective, with a lease creating an interest in the land, and a licence giving you permission to use to property.

An occupational licence is permission given by the landowner (the licensor) for the licensee (the person being granted the right) to use their land for an authorised purpose. Having an occupational licence in place effectively prevents the act which the licence refers to from being a trespass. If you don’t have one in place before undertaking activities not specified in your contract, this can lead to complications and even eviction in some cases. It is also worth noting that a licence does not create an estate in land.
A licence can be for a fixed period of time, and it can reserve a payment (a licence fee). However, a licence does not grant exclusive possession - unlike a lease. So, at any time during the licence period, the licensor could ask the licensee to occupy a different area in a building than the area used initially.
