Best wishes for your interview, I believe so long as you explain this well and with confidence, this must be no issues. Conditions simply change due to change of requirements along with the course of business.
You may also do a favour to the forum and let us know how long did it take to receive a call for interview since you applied for extension

Do not forget to put a sign plate outside your home, this sign plate should have your business name on it

Try not to worry and concerntrate on your interview and paperwork. Be confident in answering the questions. That matters.
If you say anything but with confidence that goes in your favor, in the end you have to convince the interviewer.

As you applied in Feb 2017, when did your employees leave?

Business needs/nature change and it can impact employment also. So lets say if you applied in Feb 2017 and both your employees left in Feb or March 2017 then it gives a negative impact (there is still no reason to worry as you may have your own reasons to justify that). However if they left recently it is easier to explain and justify. There can be multiple reasons. One of them is the long wait and uncertainty due to which your business could not afford to have an employee.

In my case, one of my employee left after 7 months of application so it was easier to justify during my interview. But as I said you know the reasons and your business best. As long you can explain them confidently it should not be a problem.

There is very good content on this forum regarding the interview questions. They do grill a lot on employees subject regading employee health and safefy, contracts, communication, employee rights etc. You need to be well prepared for this subject especially.

Goodluck

This is interesting! Was your home address your office address before? if yes, how long before or after application was it changed?

You should check this with HO when they fix they contact you.

But the question is why would you need either of them ? It is your business and would they know it better ?

It looks good that you got some extra time. HO is coming to question you, they are not coming to question to your solicitor/accountant.
Be well prepared, questions and interview experience has been shared by many members of this forum. just keep on focusing to those posts and prepare your self.
Just in case if you can not produce a copy of any document, you should have a valid reason for this, then they will give you some time to send the copies by post or email.
I can share my experience of interview, i hope i will somehow help you, CO ask me can you give me a copy of XYZ document, I said , I have already submitted the original one with my extension application, can not produce a copy at the moment.
Then again they asked to give us the copy of ABC document, Same reply as above given to them.
They asked me why you do not have files in your office to keep your documentation well organised, i replied, my company is certified Environmental friendly company so we keep all documentation in soft form. Then CO took pictures of all the folders in my PC.
documents they requested to me, I sent all of them through Email, being an environmental responsible company. Extension approved in 5 weeks after the interview. Overall timeline 13 months
