Contrary to popular belief, company registration does not have to be a daunting process. Are you
considering your own company incorporation? This article will serve as a useful guide to those
interested in setting up a company but are not quite sure where or how to start. Ready? Let us
begin.
First and foremost, find out and study all governmental guidelines on company formation in your
desired country or state. Remember that company registration is a legal process and every
requirement has to be fulfilled according to the jurisdictions company laws if you want to set up your
company successfully without a hitch. Precious time and resources are often wasted through delays
caused by rejected applications that do not adhere to the country laws.

the entire process for you. An experienced agent can offer valuable professional advice and give
you the much-needed support to persevere through the process of company formation. Your agent
will also take care of all the minute details, allowing you to invest your time and energy in planning

After familiarizing yourself with the process of company registration, it is time to christen your
company. The company name is your brand, so choose a striking name that represents what your
company stands for, preferably something that is memorable and appeals to your target market.
When deciding on your company name, bear in mind that you cannot use an existing company
name or one that is deceptively similar to it.
Choose a company business structure. There are many different types available, again depending
on your country or state, your business objectives and more. Here is a list of some of the more
common business structures employed by companies: Public limited company (PLC), Private
Company limited by shares (Ltd, Limited), Company limited by guarantee, unlimited company,
Limited liability partnership (LLP) and Limited partnership (LP). The exact names vary by
jurisdiction but one of the most common forms of company registration by entrepreneurs around the
world is a limited liability company.
For jurisdictions that require a registered office for your company go for a place where you will be
available to most of your clients and target market. Other factors like rental, transportation,
accessibility and number of competitors in the area can also be taken into consideration before
choosing and setting up your company office. Using a Virtual Office is an efficient option for many
small business owners and corporate services firms can provide these.
Finally, select your company shareholders and decide how many shares will be available to them.
You also need to select company directors and make any necessary changes to the existing
employee structure in your business.
