What is it?
A Letter of Authority confirms that you (the applicant) have authority to sign up to Weel on behalf of your business or organisation. It's required when you (the applicant) are not a Director or equivalent of the business. The letter provides confirmation that you have the appropriate authority and permission to create a Weel account for the business.
If you are not a Director or equivalent, without a Letter of Authority you won't be able to proceed with setting up Weel for your business.
