What is Company Registration?

Company registration is the legal process of incorporating a business, establishing it as a distinct legal entity separate from its owners. It offers legal entity status that is distinct from its owners (the shareholders) and its directors (the managers) and provides them with protection of their personal assets from corporate liability (i.e., the company's liability). Additionally, a registered company can own property, enter into contracts, bring and defend lawsuits in the name of the registered company, continue to exist regardless of any change in ownership or management (i.e., perpetual succession), and thus have more business credibility (because it has substantial legal protection for itself, its directors and its shareholders) and generally have better access to financing than an unregistered company.
