Analysis

The officer checks that the business exists at the declared address. Keep a name board, a person who can answer basic questions, and copies of the documents uploaded. Shared spaces or co-working desks should have a clear agreement and visible signage. Rejection after a visit often happens simply because the place was locked or nobody knew about the business.
