As a business owner, it\u2019s important that you keep the information on file for your business up to date any time there\u2019s a change. Any business address updates should be made within 15 days of the change taking place, but even if that time has passed, the change of address to your business should be filed.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re looking to make changes to your current Master Business Licence, it\u2019s best to have a copy of the current registration available. You\u2019ll need some of the information on the licence in order to make changes, so if you have access to the current document it makes things easier.<\/p>\n
In order to change the business address, you\u2019ll need the following information which can be found on the current Master Business Licence:<\/p>\n
After you have this information, you can make the necessary address changes and get a revised Master Business Licence that shows your new business address.<\/p>\n
