Renew or leave with the evidence intact
Act before deadlines, close what ends and preserve the access that must outlive the change.
A renewal and a departure share the same discipline: identify the authority or counterparty, capture current evidence, act early, reconcile the result and keep a recovery path.
Three moves, in order
- 01DATES
Start at the first action
Track verified requirements, preparation time and appointment or submission dates—not expiry alone.
- 02CLOSE
Mirror the opening evidence
Compare rooms, meters, keys, balances, documents and decisions with the original record.
- 03FUTURE
Preserve deliberate access
Keep the email, number, representative, archive or authentication needed for later bills, filings and disputes.
Use your facts first
