COJ launches 10-minute online business registration service

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Entrepreneurs and business owners across Jamaica will soon have a faster, more convenient way to register their businesses, following the introduction of a new online registration system by the Companies Office of Jamaica (COJ), which allows eligible applicants to complete the application process in approximately 10 minutes.

According to a release on Friday, the new EZ Registration service, which forms part of the agency’s Go Green, Go Paperless initiative, is designed to streamline business registration through electronic signing, online payments and automated processing.

Applications that meet the required criteria can be automatically approved, significantly reducing the time and administrative requirements traditionally associated with registering a business.
