Local government Council permit/receipt suffices

The Red Flags:

She is 55years old - meaning she is actively independent and you even proved this by saying she is a petty trader and you stated her annual income hence you should have included an evidence of this even if the amount she makes is small; it doesn't matter since you are sponsoring the trip. In my past application for my parents I stated that they are retired and do not earn income that they solely depends on their children still i included my dad's bank statement.

Lenght of trip - 3momths, moreover she is going with her grandchildren : this is too long for an initial application, you should have stated at most 1 month or better still 3weeks and once she gets her visa she can stay the 3 months provided she did'nt over stay her visit

You can reapply and address the issues raise. Include evidence of her business like trade certificate, Town council payment permits/receipt, Her bank statement and off course you need to explain any loop or contrary transactions on the account backed with evidence. For example during my parents application, my brother pay #400k into my dad's acct, he wrote a letter explaining the source of the funds and why he made such deposit (travel cash gift) and we backed it up with the payment receipt; it was a transfer so we went into the bank and asked for a receipt of that particular transfer and it was also stamped by the bank.

I hope this help?
