Guyanese Registration Requirements for Non-Resident Companies
Foreign companies that operate in Guyana may be required to register under the Companies Act if they are considered to be “carrying on an undertaking” in the country. This applies in situations where a company maintains an office in Guyana, establishes a share transfer or registration office, enters into two or more contracts with local residents or companies for business activities performed in Guyana, or appoints a resident agent to represent the company in connection with such contracts.
Additionally, registration is required if a company owns, possesses, or uses assets in Guyana that generate profit or are used for commercial purposes, even if the gains are realized outside the country. External companies should carefully assess their operations and contractual arrangements, as even indirect use of local assets or recurring contracts may trigger the obligation to register.
Guyanese Registration Requirements
Foreign companies doing business in Guyana must register under the Companies Act if they maintain an office, sign multiple local contracts, appoint a local agent, or use Guyana-based assets to generate profit.
