    3-6 months I reckon. Maybe a bit pessimistic with those estimates, my renewal only took a month at the start of the yr but that was only a renewal.

        6 months is a conservative estimate as there's probably an Olympics backlog. I was told you also needed to have been resident for the last 5 years.

              Catch 22 - No SC, No Contract - No Contract, No SC

              I wonder if it is possible that I can apply for SC via my LTD Company? After all, as a Director I should really make sure my staff (I) are vetted in case G4S requires my services

              Do you think I can get away with that excuse to get my SC?

                  Why don't people bother to read the SC sticky in Business/Contracts section. All these questions have been covered in there.
