Business Registration

Business registration is the process by which a company or business entity formally establishes its existence with the appropriate government authorities. It involves providing necessary information about the business to the relevant government agency, typically the Registrar of Companies or a similar agency depending on the country's regulations. The purpose of business registration is to legally recognize the entity as a distinct and separate entity from its owners, thereby granting it certain rights and responsibilities.
