Applying for your first animal boarding licence?

First-time applicants are capped at 4 stars — but your documents still matter.

Under LAIA 2018, first-time applicants cannot receive a 5-star rating on their initial inspection regardless of how good their premises are. But a 3 or 4 star rating still requires the right documentation.

Your inspector will want to see all 10 required documents on the day. If any are missing, incomplete or clearly generic, it will affect your rating. A lower rating means annual inspections and annual renewal costs instead of a 2 or 3 year licence.

StarReady generates documents that are written specifically for your premises — your named vet, your isolation setup, your monitoring method. Not blank templates with fields left empty.

Everything you need for day one.
