Please note that there are certain names that cannot be registered as business names.

You cannot register the name of a person who is not the owner of the business. Names that has been registered or very similar to business names already registered by other people are not allowed.

The Registrar of Business has the rights to reject application for name which in their opinion is misleading as to the nature, scope or importance of the business carried on or to be carried on under such name.

A "Certificate of Registration" will be issued for all successful applications. You must then display the "Certificate of Registration" at the trading or business premises. A "Trading License" or "Form B" will be issued for all successful applications. Your "Trading License" should be display at the business premises.
