EXTERNAL/FOREIGN REGISTRATION APPLICATION FORM – NAMIBIA

Company Naming & Service Scope Guidelines

• Your proposed company name must align with the type and range of services your business intends to offer.
• If your business will provide multiple unrelated services, such as construction, transportation, and gardening, your company name should include a broad descriptor such as “Trading” or “Investments”, for example, ABC Trading or ABC Investments.
• If your business will provide one specialized service only, your company name may reflect that service directly, for example, ABC Construction.
• If your company name refers to one specific service only, such as Construction, you may not offer additional unrelated services under that name.
• You may register a maximum of five business objectives/services only.
• These should be limited to two core objectives and three auxiliary services.
• When listing your services, include service names only and do not add descriptions.
  • Examples of acceptable service listings include construction, logistics, transport, electrical, and gardening services.

  • For example, if your proposed name is Panna Luxury Car Wash, then Car Wash is the business descriptor, and your objectives should relate to car wash or related services.
• Your business name must contain a unique prefix, which is the first distinguishing word or words in the name, for example, Panna Luxury.
• All words in the business activities must be written in full.
  • Abbreviations are not allowed, including terms such as IT, Agri, Pharma, and similar shortened forms.
