When we changed from sole trader to Limited Company, had a visit after about a year of trading as a Limited Company. He explained we had ‘flagged up’ as a ‘New’ Operator even though we had been trading as a sole trader since the ‘A’ licence days. Checked everything and went away quite happy.
Technically you are a new operaror though.
Hence applying for a new license, instead of a minor/major change.
