Registration of Businesses and Non Profit Making Entities:

I. Business Names

We register and administer sole proprietorships and partnerships. Once registered these are renewable every three years as is required by the law. There are two ways of registering these entities: the online business registration system, where a user can submit an application online and the basic registration service, where the client walks in to one of our offices to register. This mandate is derived from the Business Registration Act.

These are private limited liability companies, public limited liability companies, companies limited by guarantee and state owned companies.
