Running a taxi/cab company. Do you need a PCO?

Question

I know obviously to drive a cab you will need a PCO but i dont know if you need one to run the company if you are not actually driving a car yourself.

Can anybody help me on this?

Answer 1

Depends on your location.

Generally all taxis need to be licensed. Insurance companies will not insure private cars if they are for hire.
