Smar / Business Registration: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how freelancers and small media agencies can obtain a commercial registration to issue official invoices to brands.
This scheme allows individuals working in media to obtain an official commercial registration to formalize their business activities.
Who it's for
This registration is designed specifically for those operating in the media space. It is intended for freelancers who want to formalize their professional activities, as well as small media production agencies looking to establish a formal business presence.
What you get
By completing this process, you receive a commercial registration (CR). This official document provides you with the legal standing necessary to issue official invoices to brands. This allows you to conduct professional business transactions with companies that require formal documentation for their records.
What it costs you
There are costs associated with this scheme, including annual fees that vary. To qualify for the registration, you must have a registered business address.
The catch to know
It is important to understand that obtaining a commercial registration (CR) changes your status with the General Organization for Social Insurance (GOSI). You should account for how this change in your legal standing might affect your existing status with that organization.
