Read More About Business

According to the Act, all business entities derive their mandate from the Registrar of Companies who issues them with certificate after they submit a declaration letter which is usually accompanied by Memorandum of Association.

Applicants must also:

Submit a declaration letter endorsed by a lawyer who must certify that you have complied with all registration requirements prior to the application for incorporation

The letter must be accompanied by a Memorandum and Articles of Association which must contain signatures from all directors and shareholders of the company.

The Registrar will only give a go ahead if he/she ascertains that the applicant has met all requirements set out in the Companies Act. A certificate for the company will be issued once the Registrar confirms that there is no other company that appears with the proposed name, and that the said company that does not contravene the public order.

The company shall then be registered and given a certificate of incorporation which shall also indicate the date of registration. The certificate shall be based on provisions of the Companies Act.

The process also requires that applicants pay an amount not exceeding S. R. 50 as incorporation fee. However the declaration and registration fees of the memorandums will largely be based on the current share capital of the company.
