Commercial Register
|
|
The
Trade Registry was instituted by State Ordinance of November 6, 1944,
and the last revised text of this so-called “Trade Register” Ordinance
was published in the Official Gazette under
AB 1991 No. GT 15.
This
Ordinance prescribes that any undertaking, which is involved in
business activities, must be registered in the Trade Registry of the
Aruba Chamber of Commerce & Industry. The registration of such a
business must be done not later than one week after its initial start.
A business is considered established when economic activities towards
the public have started.
Any
enterprise in which business is conducted by anyone has to register.
Partnerships, corporations and cooperative associations are thus also
considered to be an enterprise.
There are certain exceptions such as public bodies, street-vendors
(who however do need a special permit), farmers and fishermen. For
more detailed information on exceptions, please contact the Aruba
Chamber thru
businessinfo@arubachamber.com
