The Business and Intellectual Property Authority (Bipa) will soon move its head office in Windhoek to a new home. From 1 July 2025, Bipa will be operating from 172 Jan Jonker Road, Ausspanplatz, the former SME Bank building, in a move that signals a bold step forward in how the authority serves clients and the Namibian business community at large.

In a statement Bipa noted that the relocation is part of an ongoing commitment to make doing business in Namibia easier, faster, and more accessible. The new space places the business registration agency closer to the heart of the city and offers a more welcoming, modern environment. 

Bipa says the new premises is an environment that reflects the energy, ambition, and innovation of the entrepreneurial spirit.

“As a forward-facing institution, we must continuously adapt our infrastructure to match the evolving needs of our clients. This move is more than just a change of address; it is a reaffirmation of our commitment to efficiency, innovation, and putting our clients first,” remarked Ockert Jansen, Bipa’s executive marketing, corporate communication and client management services.

He emphasised that the change in premises will affect the Windhoek head office only. 

“From 1 July, all client visits and services previously offered at 3 Ruhr Street, in the Northern Industrial Area, will be available at our new Ausspanplatz location. We encourage all our clients and partners to update their records and reach out through our usual contact channels for any support during the transition. While we aim for a smooth transition, clients should anticipate possible temporary service disruptions during the move. We look forward to welcoming you,” Bipa said.
