Without a Trade Licence you will not be able to legally move vehicles on the road unless you tax them individually. You have to have trade insurance, which will be restrictive. The V5C itself tells you what to do with V5Cs. If your turnover will be more than £83,000 a year you have to register for VAT and conform to VAT rules.
