From close corporations to non-profits, understanding BIPA’s requirements is essential for entrepreneurs to avoid bureaucratic setbacks.
Why Registering with BIPA is Essential for Your Business
The Business and Intellectual Property Authority in Namibia handles the formalities of business registration, from reserving a company name to issuing tax certificates.
