Registration Requirements and Steps in Guyana

In Guyana, the term “company” refers to a legal entity separate from its owner. The company, not the owner, is limited liability. This organisation is formed in accordance with Chapter 89:01 of the Guyana Companies Act.

The following are the procedures for registering a new company:

  • First, a company name is chosen;
  • A Guyana attorney must issue a Declaration of Compliance stating that the new company complies with the laws and rules governing the formation of a new company.
  • Finally, the new company can be registered with the Registrar of Companies in Guyana. This entails completing an application that requests:
    • The company’s name;
    • The registered office address;
    • A description of the classes and the maximum number of shares to be issued;
    • Share registration;
    • Number of Directors (minimum or maximum);
    • If any restrictions on the type of business activities will be imposed;
    • The names, addresses, occupations, and signatures of the incorporators; and
    • The names and addresses of the directors and secretary.

The Registrar will issue a Certificate of Incorporation following approval.

Types of Company Formations in Guyana

Guyana has the following legal business entities:

  • Sole trader:  The owner is personally liable for all debts.
  • Partnership: Any debts incurred are shared equally by the named partners.
  • For limited liability protection, we recommend incorporating one of the following:
  • The PLLC (Private Limited Liability Company): With this type of registration, the owner has limited liability. With 2 to 20 shareholders, the PLLC can be foreign-owned or locally owned. This type of company is also simple to establish and only requires one director.
  • The PLC (Public Liability Company): The ownership is divided into shares, which are publicly traded on a stock exchange. In this structure, at least two directors are required.
