Quick question.

I own a number of trademarks that I use in my Ltd company. The TMs are in my name. Is it possible that my business can pay me a license fee for the use of the Trademarks.....and if so, what is considered to be a reasonable fee?

No reason at all why you can't do that, as long as there is a genuine benefit to the company in having the licence.

What the licence fee would be is akin to asking how long is a piece of string - it depends on how profitable it would be likely to be and therefore how much value the company would derive from it/them.
