Interviewer instructions
Some people register names of their businesses with the Registrar of Companies. Others, though not registered, operate their businesses with or without licences from different authorities. You are therefore required to inquire of the legal status and write the appropriate option in column E16 using the options given at the bottom of the questionnaire.
