Corporate Guide

How long does the company incorporation process take in Democratic Republic of Congo?

Once the articles of association have been drafted, they have to be submitted to the compliance office of the bank for the opening of a bank account. This process can take an estimated eight working days. 

Once the account is opened, the shareholders must deposit the capital amount and establish an attestation of the capital deposit. 

Then, they must request the filing and registration of the company, a process that takes around 15 to 18 working days. 

However, for some time now, there has been a delay in the administration. Therefore, the process could take up to one month. But it is possible, with certain diligence, to have them in less than 15 days.
