How to Register a Business in Namibia – A Step-by-Step Guide

Starting a Business? Here’s What You Need to Know!

Are you ready to turn your business idea into reality? Registering a business in Namibia is a crucial step towards legitimacy and growth. At Omukuto Secretarial Services CC, we make the process easy for you.

Step 1: Choose Your Business Structure

Namibia allows different business structures, including:
✅ Close Corporation (CC) – Ideal for small businesses
✅ Private Company (Pty) Ltd – Suitable for growing enterprises
✅ Public Company (Ltd) – For large-scale operations
✅ Trust – For asset management and protection

Step 2: Name Reservation

You must submit three preferred business names to BIPA (Business and Intellectual Property Authority). Once approved, you can proceed with registration.

Step 3: Submit Registration Documents

Depending on your business type, you’ll need:
📌 ID copies of directors/members
📌 Proof of address
📌 Company founding statement (for CCs)
📌 Memorandum & Articles of Association (for companies)

Step 4: Obtain a Tax Identification Number (TIN)

All registered businesses must have a TIN from the Namibia Revenue Agency (NAMRA) for tax compliance.

Step 5: Stay Compliant!

Annual returns, beneficial ownership details, and proper record-keeping are mandatory to avoid penalties.
