I think it depends on the requirements to get a "Street Trading License" - which I have no idea about.
These days politicians and businesses seem keen to denigrate regulation presenting it as nothing more than a hindrance. But a lot of the regulation is actually protecting us and society from those with other interests as well as protecting them from themselves when they pursue short term interests with long term damage.
UK environment is one of the most nature-depleted in Europe. Once destroyed it will not be restored. Toxic chemicals spread on our food and environment might be good for profits but people suffer (eg health), addressing air pollution might cost business profits but impact of child development, health, NHS costs, productivity loss mean controls (regulation) are necessary not "a hindrance". Build houses on flood plains and ... they get flooded (who could have thought of that) - so we need regulation to stop developers taking profits from building in such places.
