Corporate Guide

What is the process of setting up a company in Democratic Republic of Congo?

As mentioned above, this depends on the sector of activity. Some industries such as construction, mining, manufacturing, telecommunication and others, require certain administrative authorisations and therefore have special provisions. However, there are still some common rules. The procedure is as follows:

• Drafting of the articles of association
• Opening a bank account for the company in line with the requirement to deposit the capital amount in a bank located in the jurisdiction of the company head office
• Filing the registration of the notarised articles of association in paper and electronic form at the office for the creation of companies
• Payment of registration fees
• Obtaining incorporation documents
