Google "registering as self employed" as a start, this is in effect your "licence" and would I suspect suffice for you for now. You could always open a company at a later date if the business took off.

I dare say you may need insurance in case some idiot gets their hand caught in the machine or cuts themself on a sharp edge or something. Sounds OTT for a one man business and plenty of people would go without the cost but just something to bear in mind.

Just yesterday somebody mentioned you do need insurance, for example, in case vending machine catches fire and burns down the building

There have been a surprising number of deaths caused by vending machines - quite often to people trying to rob the machines and getting crushed.

There's been a surprising number of threads about vending machines lately!

Possibly planning permission if on a outside wall
