Register a company or business name
Making your business official with CIPA.
Companies and business names are registered with CIPA (Companies and Intellectual Property Authority) through its online system.
Choose and reserve a name, then register the company or business name.
Registered businesses can open business bank accounts, apply for tenders and get funding.
After registering, check if you also need a trade licence from your local council and a BURS tax number.
