Default Animal Transport

There seems to be a few people now that courier exotics and other animals, which is awesome.

Apart from the obvious, I was wondering what it entails, especially from a business point of view.

safely collecting and adaquetly transporting reptiles that could be worth thousands of pounds to such an address that your client requires.. as quickly and as safey as possible, to provide a fantastic customer relation and to be reliable and honest..

on the legal side of things you would need insurance..probably public liablity and i think there will also be a pet one just to cover yourself and everyone elses reptiles. GOOD LUCK!!

You will need public liability insurance, register as a business with inland revenue, would prob want to register for VAT as well considering the huge amount of vat on fuel.

You prob wont be able to insure the reptiles with our prior notice to the underwriter, I havnt found an insurance underwriter willing to provide all risks as yet.

You will also need to obtain a animal transporter authorisation licence.
