Business name description

A Business Name (Jina la Biashara) is the commercial identity used by an individual or a group of up to 20 people engaging in business. It reflects the trade name under which they operate, such as “Ali Enterprises,” “Rose Beauty Salon,” or “John Urassa Investments”

• It is not a separate legal entity—it is simply a registered trading name. The individual or partnership, not the name itself, is liable for operations and debts
