Business Registration Assistance in Kandy & Sri Lanka
Planning to start a business in Sri Lanka? Wisdom Management Services (WMS), based in Kandy, provides guidance and document-preparation assistance for business name registration and company registration enquiries. We help you understand the appropriate registration route for your proposed business and organise the information required for the process.
Which Type of Business Registration Do You Need?
Private Limited Company Registration
A private limited company is incorporated through the Department of the Registrar of Companies using the eROC system. The process includes company-name search or reservation and submission of incorporation information. See our Private Limited Company Registration in Sri Lanka page.
Sole Proprietorship / Individual Business Registration
A sole proprietorship is an individually owned business. Business-name registration is handled by the relevant provincial business-name registration authority, with services facilitated through Divisional Secretariats. For Kandy and the Central Province, read our Sole Proprietorship Registration guide.
Partnership / Firm Registration
A partnership is a business operated by two or more partners. Business-name registration requirements depend on the province and the details of the partners. Learn about Partnership Registration in Sri Lanka.
Business Name Registration in Kandy
For businesses in the Central Province that are not incorporated under the Companies Act, business names are registered under the applicable business-name registration process. New certificates are facilitated through the relevant Divisional Secretariat. WMS can discuss the paperwork and process for your business. See Business Name Registration in Kandy.
How WMS Can Assist
- Discuss whether a sole proprietorship, partnership or company structure matches your intended business.
- Explain the registration route and the information typically requested for the chosen business type.
- Assist with preparing and organising application details and supporting documents within the agreed service scope.
- Coordinate the next steps and explain the process for the relevant registration authority.
- Discuss related TIN registration assistance after business registration, where required.
WMS is an independent service provider, not a government registration authority. Business Registration Certificates and Certificates of Incorporation are issued by the relevant government authority. Requirements, fees and processing times can change and depend on the business type and location.
Documents for Business Registration
Documents vary by registration type and province. They may include the owner’s or partners’ identity details, proposed business name, business activity, business address and evidence relating to the business premises. Company incorporation requires separate company and director/shareholder information. We will discuss the applicable checklist before work begins.
