How do ordinary folk get one of them? Don't you have to be in business?

In theory, yes, - but in practice, all Makro need is a letterhead ............ which doesn't cost that much via high street print shops, the cost of which will soon be repaid by Makro bulk purchase savings, but just as long as you have the storage space required (but you can always set up a "co-operative" with a few neighbours !!........)

Very similar to the West of Scotland process of "getting a line" for a warehouse ................

In 1864 £3/15½ was well over a week and a half pay for an average worker. Nearer two weeks pay for a less skilled tradesman.
