Advice from recovery operators

Hi looking for some advice if possible.
I’m looking at getting into vehicle movements, moving cars and vans on a recovery truck, question is, do I need a cpc, and also would I need the running capital in the bank under the normal cpc o license. I know recovery is a grey area but any advice on start up would be appreciated

Its not a grey area, genuine recovery, no o licence needed, hire & reward vehicle transport just as regular haulage- regular o licence needed & a transport manager.

CPC needed in either case.
