Trade Licence Cancellation
A cancelled licence should come with paperwork proving it, not just an expiry date that passed.
Overview
About License Cancellation
Licence cancellation is often needed when a business changes direction, consolidates entities or completes a project. It involves formalities with the issuing authority and, usually, related cancellations such as establishment files and residency.
AZAN handles the cancellation file and the connected steps so the licence is formally closed and you hold written confirmation of it.
How we help
How AZAN can help with license cancellation

Requirements confirmed first
We check what your authority requires before starting so the process is not interrupted midway.
- 02
Connected files handled
Establishment cards, permits and residency linked to the licence are addressed in the right order.

Where suspension, amendment or transfer would serve you better, we say so before cancelling.
