On the first visit to the Companies Registries Office (CRO) at the Yangon Directorate of Investment and Company Administration (DICA) office, the proposed name for the new business must be checked and cleared. There is an electronic database at DICA since October 2012 that makes it easier to check and to complete this procedure within the same day. The request is made and depending on the workload the check will be done in either a few minutes or a few hours at most, in the meantime the business owner or representative can wait in the office
