Coci urges businesses to update records and settle fees to avoid deregistration

The St. Maarten Chamber of Commerce and Industry (COCI) has advised businesses on Sint Maarten to update their Trade Registry records and settle outstanding annual registration fees. COCI warned that failing to maintain current and complete registration could jeopardize a business's legal operating status and potentially lead to deregistration. Businesses are urged to review and update information, including addresses and contact details, and ensure timely payment of fees. This compliance is a legal requirement, supporting transparency and good governance, and is essential for businesses to access financing and participate in tenders. Payments can be made at the COCI office or through their online facility.
