🧰 Start a Service Business in Jamaica · Lesson 2 of 8 · free
The practical steps in Jamaica: business name, TRN, the bank account, and what to keep for GCT later.
Jamaica's Companies Office registers business names (sole trader) or companies; a registered name lets you open a business bank account and look real to bigger clients.
You have a TRN as a person; the business uses it (or gets its own as a company). Keep every invoice and receipt from day one — GCT registration comes at the threshold, and clean records make you fundable.
A business account separates money, lets gateways settle to you, and puts a business name on transfers customers see.
Start the registration this week; open the account the day the name comes back.
