Transferring a business & residence

[Rob]

JF,

First, get your personal TRN. That can be done at any tax office. Then head to the Registrar of Companies. Being a translator is definite plus! And being a translator, they wont be so concerned about a physical business office since you can be working from home without people coming there. You will need some form of address to apply for all documents including the TRN.

Fabulous, thanks a lot -- that's very encouraging. If I can just state the address of the flat I'm renting, rather than a dedicated brick-and-mortar business address, that makes things quite easy. I suppose being a one-woman business does help in that respect. I'll share updates on the process here, just in case someone else is looking to embark on a similar process.

EDIT: One more question. The PICA website says I'll need two character references from Jamaican citizens; is there a requirement that these people are currently resident in Jamaica and have known me for x number of years (which might be slightly tricky)?
