Sole proprietorships are registered under the Registration of Business Names Act. A sole proprietorship is formed by only one person. It is easy to set-up and links the owner of a business to their company. Companies structured as sole proprietorships can include individual freelancers, creatives, growing startups, and established businesses with physical storefronts or workspaces.  The ability to operate as a sole proprietor, without formal registration or high costs, is especially beneficial if you’re building your startup as a side gig, outside your regular day job. The ease of establishment means you don’t have to be 100 percent committed or invested financially to begin operations.

Requirements for registration of a sole proprietorship:

• Proposed business names for search and approval;
• Nature of business; for professional services a practicing certificate by the relevant body for the current year will be attached;
• Proposed Physical address of the business. Address includes road, plot number, town, and county;
• Full names of the sole proprietor;
• Nationality of the sole proprietor;
• Age of sole proprietor based on national ID;
• Gender of the sole proprietor;
• Usual place of residence of the sole proprietor
• Copy of ID / Passport for the Sole proprietor;
• 2 passport photos of the Sole proprietor;
