Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that it had secured sufficient physical premises to house its new office. The Director found inconsistencies in two different lease agreements submitted for a small office space and noted that the petitioner had not yet acquired any actual retail store locations, undermining the claim that it was ready to commence business.
