Starting a business

I stopped trading: what should I do with my registration?

Stopping operations does not automatically delete a commercial registration. Separate closure from other outstanding obligations.

Before deletion, check licences, contracts and other records still tied to the establishment.

Short answer

If a sole establishment permanently stops trading, review the Ministry deletion route. First identify linked licences, contracts and other records.

Is deletion the right action?

If a sole establishment has ceased trading, review the Ministry deletion service. A temporary pause, activity change or legal-form change may require another route.

What should I identify first?

Identify the exact main or branch record, then list related licences, employee records, contracts and obligations.

Why may deleting the record be insufficient?

Other authority records and obligations may remain. Check each relevant body before treating the whole business as closed.

What comes next?

Review the current official conditions and prepare the record and authorised applicant. Seek specialist advice if third-party rights are involved.

What to prepare

Identify the exact main or branch registration.
List municipal and sector licences and related accounts.
Review employees, contracts and outstanding entitlements where applicable.
Check deletion eligibility and applicant capacity in the official service.

Watch out for

Closing a shop or stopping sales does not automatically delete the registration.
Deletion in one authority does not prove all other rights or obligations have ended.

Common questions

Is deletion right for a temporary pause?

It may not be. Distinguish a permanent closure from an activity change or other available route.

Does the workforce file disappear with the registration?

Do not assume so. Review workforce records and obligations separately with the responsible authorities.

Service scope and current prices

These amounts come from the current Yusr catalogue, not an invented government tariff. Review the scope and final total in the service form before confirming.
