All you need to do is contact your local DVO to fill in a form ER1. To make it easier, I've attached it for you
You don't need any qualification unless you want to apply for grants, but do you need some basic facilities such as a shed/pen for sick animals and a crush to hold them for testing, suitable water facilities and correct fencing.

After you get yourself sorta sorta with all that, send in the form and you'll have an inspector out to look at it in a short while.
