Can I still get my records after I cancel or close my business?

Yes, if you only cancel the plan: your issued invoices and records stay available. If you close the business, you can read and download everything for 30 days; after that all its data is deleted. Download a full copy before you close.

If I cancel my plan

Settings → Plan & billing shows Cancels on …; issued invoices and records stay available. Nothing is deleted when the plan ends.

If I close the business

  • The business becomes read-only at once, and you have 30 days to download your records or cancel the closure.
  • After that, everything in this business is deleted, including the accounting books. Encrypted backups expire within 13 months. Only the business name is kept.
  • A written request or legal hold pauses the deletion.

How do I download everything?

In Settings → Connections, under Download data:

  • All business data: the business's records and the PDFs of issued invoices, without passwords, keys or other secrets.
  • Accounting books: a separate download, including foreign-currency records and their rates.
  • Invoices CSV: your invoices as a spreadsheet.

The Close business screen offers the same downloads first.

How long should I keep them?

You remain responsible for keeping tax and legal records. A Cyprus business must keep its records for 6 years; in Spain, issued invoices for at least 4 years and the accounting books for 6. Your accountant can confirm what applies.
