Fill out the form below and submit. [SCROLL RIGHT DOWN].
If you would like to renew your business, check IPA Business Renewal form and information.
Usually, it is a Same Day Service. However, sometimes the IPA Review process can take hours or even days.
In most cases, we process applications within a few hours and that is the reason why we are popular in the country for such an efficient and reliable service.
With a fee of K300, we will register your business with IPA and help you to obtain an IRC TIN (Tax Identification Number) certificate.
You will need both certificates to open your
SME Bank Account at any bank of your choice. We will assist you in opening your SME bank account as well.
Choose one of the three (3) SME Startup Packages.
However, for Company Registration, you can download Forms 1, 2, 3, 4, & 6 separately from our Download Section. Company Registration costs K650 and Business Registration costs K300. Both come with TIN and Bank Account Opening.
We also do the following; IPA Renewals, Registration of Associations, Business Groups, making Amendments to IPA details and we can also get your TIN and COC from IRC.
Contact us for more information on IPA Online Registration and related queries.
IPA REGISTRATION FORM
Fill out the IPA Registration Form below & Submit:
All particulars must be filled well and in full. Any missing information will delay your IPA Registration. Read the guidelines on how to choose a great business name before registering.

REFUND POLICY
We have a refund policy where we can make refunds for IPA work that we are unable to process even after some time.
However, we cannot do any refunds for IPA work that is completed while TIN Application or IPA Registration is pending with the relevant government agencies.
This is because by then, all funds will have been committed to your work as we pay people to do your work regardless of whether the work is completed or not. We have nowhere to recouping the money.
That means you will have to wait until the TIN is delivered either emailed by us or to be collected in person through your nearest IRC Tax Office.
The same rule applies for IPA certificates. While we are working on your IPA Online Registration, if you go ahead and gotten the job done yourself without us knowing, we cannot give full refund because, by then we will have committed funds to our staff to work on your IPA work.
This information is available to the public and must be read before engaging us to assist you.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I got three queries;
1. Would like to renew our IPA business name but I note requirements under “Category 2” to provide letter of authority on business letterhead unfortunately we don’t have a logo hence no letterhead. Can we still write a letter of authority so long as the owners sign and provide IDs and we can renew using your online portal?
2. For a first time SME owner should they register a business or a company? What’s the difference between registering a business and a company?
3. Need to rearrange the owners listed from the top head to bottom.. Please confirm dose this affect the line of authority?
Example: have my youngest child as owner 1 and oldest child as owner 2, I want to change that to have my older child as owner 1 and younger as owner 2.Can we change it or it’s still okay as it is ?
Thanks
Sam
SMEwebs
Just write a letter and sign. Send together with your valid ID. We will sort the rest.
Company has Directors and shareholders while businesses only have owners. It’s advisable for startups to register as businesses and later, as they grow, can convert to companies.
The orders of ownership does not mean anything.
Email us info@pngsme.org
Thank you,
Philip
What happen after I submit the form..?
SMEwebs
We will send you a confirmation email acknowledging your application. We will send payment instructions with it.

Hi PNG SME,
I have a query regarding the amendment of business activities. We registered our company already and obtained the TIN certificate already but we have an issue to collect our COC and we were advised by IRC to do amendment to our business activities. Please advised will it be possible to do amendment to our business activities.
SMEwebs
It can be possible by discarding your old business and registering it again with changes to the Business activities. Email us info@pngsme.org Thank you

Lisa Apolos
Hi,I would like to register a mini auto port and a trade store.does these cover only one business name?
SMEwebs
Dear Lisa, both must be registered separately. Each business activity must be registered separately. However, if the activities are somewhat similar, you can register as a trading business. That means your Business Name should sound something like; APOLOS TRADING. That way, you can do auto parts and trade store together.
Apply here; https://www.pngsme.org/ipa-online-registration
Thank you 🙏

Dear Sir/Madam,
I have started a family charity group(since 2012) focusing on helping needy people back in my village… The group members are all family related and have suggested to register the group. As such, under which category should we register in? and is it okay to register a small scale non-profitable charity group?
Thank you.
SMEwebs
Register it as an Association because, they are considered as non-profit. Email us info@pngsme.org
Thank you,
