Authority and License Review
We review the trade license, company type, and relevant authority requirements before mapping the closure work.

We review your licensing authority, legal form, financial records, and pending obligations. Our team then explains the documents and professional support needed for the agreed work.

Trade license cancellation does not automatically close your VAT or Corporate Tax registration. Eligible businesses may need separate applications and outstanding tax filings with the Federal Tax Authority.
Employees, work permits, immigration records, and other outstanding duties may also need to be addressed. We help clients identify these areas for review and guide them to the relevant specialists or authorities where needed.
