The advantages of registering a company
Business registering authority will establish an official registry of micro, small and medium enterprises, to identify the beneficiaries of this Law. This registry will be free and of immediate effect. Any informal microenterprise that is formalized or that is constituted as of the entry into force of this Law, and is registered in this business register, will be exempt from the payment of income tax, during the first two fiscal years counted from your registration in the Authority.
Trademark and branding
Every company wants to be unique in the market, distinguish clearly from its competitors before consumers and users. To achieve such a task, it is very important to create a name, which happens to have a trade name or brand. However, it is common that both recent companies and others that have been operating for some time do not have their trade name or registered trademark, exposing themselves to several risks, the most frequent being that a third party used our brand to take advantage of its reputation or once we started the exploitation of a brand will be the cessation of our brand for violating a trademark already registered causing serious setbacks.
In the same way, having a trade name or registered trademark entails added value for the company, as it allows the granting of licenses and franchises thereof, as well as an increase in the value of the business asset.
Get the registration
Nobody else can register a company with the same name. Imagine the confusion if you do not register a name like ‘Ron’s plumbing’ and then another one called ‘Ron plumbing’ is opened, which does a lower job. Customers will inevitably confuse the two and think you are the inferior firm.
Protection of legal responsibility

In case the business fails, these personal assets cannot be touched. They will, therefore, be protected from creditors. In other words, creditors will not be able to hit the doors of the shareholders.
