    Registering a business in Malawi

    The Department of Registrar General (in the Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs) is responsible
    for business registration. There are three ways a woman entrepreneur in Malawi can register her
    business:

    1. One is by registering online (www.registrargeneral.gov.mw);

    2. Applying through the One Stop Service Centre at Malawi Investment and Trade Centre (MITC) or;

    3. Submitting an application directly to the Office of the Registrar General or any of its branch offices.

    Registration takes only five (5) days on average if done in person or online, and 14 days if done by mail.

    Two forms of businesses can be registered. A business name registration applies to sole proprietorships
    and partnerships. Once registered these are renewable every three years. There are two ways of
    registering these entities:
    a) the online business registration system (MBRS) or;

    b) offline registration; where where the client walks in to one of the Department of Registrar General’s
    offices to register.

    Secondly, business incorporation applies to limited liability companies which are registered and
    administered under the Companies Act (Cap 46:03). There are four types of limited liability companies
    that are can be registered in Malawi namely:

    1) private limited liability companies,

    2) public limited liability companies,

    3) companies limited by guarantee and,

    4) state owned companies (SOCs).

    Direct Investment) where a Companies Specialist (attached from the Department of Registrar General)
