Service contracts - Yes (total 7 when applied) all originals with contact details of client.
Advertising- sent email correspondence with local council . That's where I get work from.
Invoices- Past 3 months.
May be these were for initial application but I didn't take chances as they fall under the genuine test also. You have to prove that you are running a genuine business. At least you have something to defend yourself if you have to go further . Looking at recent rejections of people who have got all points and bwing rejected for genuine test I would certainly send these and anymore to avoid an interview in the first place. Bank statements are fine for 1 yr.
Again this was my personal experience and I guess it worked for me.
Good luck

These are not specified documents in the immigration rules.

(Except for the business statement which is needed as part of the investment evidence.)

In my own case, I never attached any of those.

As manu_cal pointed out, these are most useful for the genuineness test. So, it depends on the nature of your business and the activities. If your business is obviously genuine, it needs lesser additional evidence for demonstrating it.

MANU_Cal could you tell us what email address did you use for PAP ? Thanks

MANU_Cal could you tell us what email address did you use for PAP ? Thanks

Sorry I never sent a PAP . It was Admin Review. I think it was manu2017 .

[nevergiveup88]

MANU2017 what email address did you use for PAP

[manu2017]

Good man. Can you PM me the email you sent to home office and also the email address you sent it?
Would be grateful to you.

Every case is different for PAP, I have made my IHS refund as the base of the PAP for JR. But this PAP doesn't do anything for the outcome of the decision as I send PAP on 14th NOV, however Visa issue date is 10th NOV. On google you can find more PAP formats, if you want to send PAP to UKVI. Find out the base on which you can ask them to make decision quickly or you'll go for JR. Thanks

[manu2017]

Many congratulations ,
I would like to request you to share your pap email if possible. Thanks

As mentioned in the Momi's reply, every application and PAP reason is different. I'm not sure If I'm allowed to share the legal email in this forum (Gurus to advise if I can), rest formats are availble on google just try to mold it according to your case. Thanks
