Frequently Asked Questions

Can I upgrade a Business Name to a Limited Company later?

Yes! If your business grows and you want to bring in investors or limit your liability, you can easily upgrade your registered Business Name to a Limited Liability Company.

What is the difference between a Business Name and an LLC?

A Business Name is not a separate legal entity from the owner. If the business incurs debt, your personal assets are liable. A Limited Company is a separate legal entity, protecting your personal assets.

Do I need a shop or office?

No, you can legally use your residential home address as your business address for the CAC registration.
