Overview
How this registration works.
Company registration is specifically about forming or registering a company or corporate entity — a legal entity of its own, as distinct from the wider question of registering a business activity. The steps, forms and authorities involved depend on the type of entity and where it is formed.
What to work out first
The type of entity
The kind of company you want and why. It shapes what has to be prepared and what comes after.
Who is involved
The owners and those who will run it, and the roles each of them will hold.
Where it will be formed
Rules for forming a company are set locally and can differ a great deal from one place to the next.
Founding and governing documents
Companies commonly need documents that set them up and govern how they run. Exactly which depends on the entity and the place.
