1. SECURITY CLEARANCE

Obtain security clearance for shareholders, directors, and authorized signatories. Submit identification documents and complete background checks.

 

2. COMPANY NAME REGISTRATION

Check the availability of your proposed company name. Submit a name reservation request through the Ministry of Industry and Commerce (MOIC) portal.

 

3. TEMPORARY CERTIFICATE REGISTRATION (CR)

After name approval, receive a temporary Commercial Registration (CR) number. Use it for initial documentation, like opening bank accounts.

 

4. SHOP/OFFICE ADDRESS

Secure initial approval for your business location from local authorities. A lease agreement is not needed immediately.

 

5. REGISTER MUNICIPALITY / ELECTRICITY ACCOUNT

Open accounts with the municipality and register for electricity. This ensures your business location complies with local regulations.

 

6. DEED OF ASSOCIATION (DOA)

Draft and notarize the DOA, which outlines your company’s objectives and structure.


7. UNDER FORMATION BANK ACCOUNT

Open an "Under Formation Bank Account" to hold the initial capital deposit required to start your business.

 

8. FINAL COMMERCIAL REGISTRATION (CR) ISSUANCE

Once all steps are complete, collect your final CR certificate. This officially recognizes your business and allows you to start operations.
