🏛 Register the Business and Open the Bank Account

The practical steps in Jamaica: business name, TRN, the bank account, and what to keep for GCT later.

Register the name

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.

TRN and records

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.

The bank account

A business account separates money, lets gateways settle to you, and puts a business name on transfers customers see.

Homework

Start the registration this week; open the account the day the name comes back.
