86: Carrying on of business activities from other places of business permitted in certain circumstances

You could also call this:

"Running your business from other places is allowed under certain conditions"

Illustration for Arms Bill

You can run your business from other places under certain conditions. If you have a business licence, you can handle firearms and other items at another site if you hire them out to certain companies. You need a theatrical armourer to supervise the handling and storage of these items. You can also run your business from other places occasionally if your licence allows it. The armourer must have a special endorsement on their firearms licence to handle items at other sites. This endorsement requires the armourer to get written consent from the chief executive for each site and production. Your business licence can have conditions to ensure the safe use and storage of firearms. These conditions are necessary for the licence to be issued.
