Is starting a business under 18 legal in Sri Lanka?

A person under 18 cannot legally start or own a business independently in Sri Lanka, but they can be involved through a parent/guardian using specific legal structures.

Sri Lankan law treats anyone under 18 as a minor, meaning they do not have full legal capacity to enter contracts. Running a business requires signing contracts (bank accounts, suppliers, ROC forms, leases, etc.), so a minor cannot legally do this alone.

If the minor wants to start a business (e.g., online store, tutoring, digital services), a parent/guardian can:

a. Register a sole proprietorship in their own name or incorporate a Pvt Ltd with themselves as director/shareholder

b. Hold shares on trust for the minor

c. Allow the minor to operate the business creatively while the adult handles legal obligations

This is the standard workaround used in Sri Lanka. Specially young generation 16+ can start a business and develop the entrepreneurship this way.

this is good initiative .

Big news !! 😮 With the launch of the cross-border QR payment service between Nepal Clearing House Limited (NCHL) and LankaPay, Nepali travelers visiting Sri Lanka can now make easy cashless payments at around 400,000 LankaQR-enabled shops using connectIPS and mobile banking apps.

The service was officially launched in Colombo in the presence of officials from Nepal Rastra Bank, the Central Bank of Sri Lanka, and representatives of financial institutions from both countries, and is being viewed as a significant step toward strengthening South Asia’s digital payment interconnection.

සම්පත් බැංකු Savings ගිණුම් හිමියන්ට වැදගත් පණිවිඩයක්

ඔබ දන්නවා Savings ගිණුම් වලට ලැබෙන පොලී හරිම අඩුයි , සම්පත් බැංකුව ගිණුම් වලට Quarterly Service Charge / Maintenance Fee නමින් අමතර ගාස්තුවක් අයකරනවා .

📌 සෙවිංස් ගිණුමක ප්‍රධාන අරමුණ — සල්ලි සුරක්ෂිතව තබා පොලී ලැබීම.
ඒත් ගිණුමේ ශේෂය අඩු නම් Rs 50,000 ක් වත් නැත්නම් මේක නිසා කවදාවත් තියෙන මුදල් අඩුවෙනවා ඇරෙන්න වැඩි වෙන්නේ නෑ.

📉 පොලී ලැබෙන්නේ රුපියල් කිහිපයක්
📈 ගාස්තුව අය වෙන්නේ රුපියල් සිය ගණන්

👉 ඔබගේ ගිණුමටත් මෙවැනි ගාස්තු අය කරලා තියෙනවාද කියලා statement එක හරහා හොයලා බලන්න.
👉 අවශ්‍ය නම් බැංකුවෙන් විස්තර අහලා, වෙනත් ගිණුම් වර්ගයක් හෝ zero‑fee option එකක් ගැනත් සලකා බලන්න.

බැංකු ගාස්තු ගැන දැනුවත් වෙලා, ඔබගේ සල්ලි ඔබම ආරක්ෂා කරගන්න. 💡💰
මේ ගාස්තු නියාමනය වෙනවා ද ?
