Transfer Activity License

Transfer a business activity license to another entity.

When your shop moves to a new location or the business changes hands, the municipal licence needs an official update so you are not operating with a licence that doesn't match reality, which may lead to violations or closure. The new site must meet the activity's requirements such as area, permitted use and safety, and may need a Civil Defense safety certificate. At Tasami we review the activity requirements at the new site, ideally before you sign the lease, follow the transfer or amendment request on Balady and explain any extra requirements until the updated licence is issued.
