No, you can get a O license first and then buy a vehicle.

for restricted O license you won’t need a TM. For a standard national/ international you will need a nominated transport manager on the TM1👍

From experience you'll be better off as a couch freight forwarder.. Beer in one hand, crisps in the other raking it in, you'll calculate miles but wont travel any.. Good luck all the same

Take your time. Make sure that you 100% have a source of work BEFORE investing any money. Otherwise it's pointless
