Partner or investor visas
Establishment and immigration records

VAT deregistration, where applicable
Outstanding authority requirements
Business premises or tenancy matters
Customs or other registrations, where applicable

Frequently Asked Questions About License Cancellation

Not Sure What Is Still Active Under Your Company?

This is one of the most common concerns when closing a business.

Wise Cat Business Services reviews the company as a whole rather than treating licence cancellation as an isolated step.
