I offer specialized services designed to streamline the company registration process, ensuring a smooth and efficient entry into the Equatoguinean market.

Navigating the Landscape of Company Registration in Equatorial Guinea

Registering a company in Equatorial Guinea involves a series of well-defined steps, each requiring meticulous attention to detail and adherence to local regulations. These steps generally include:

Choosing a Business Structure: Determining the appropriate legal structure for your business (e.g., Limited Liability Company [Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada - SRL], Public Limited Company [Sociedad Anónima - SA], branch office) is a crucial initial decision. Each structure has its own implications for liability, taxation, and administrative requirements.

Reserving a Company Name: Before proceeding with registration, it's essential to reserve a unique company name with the relevant authorities. This ensures that your chosen name is available and complies with legal naming conventions.

Drafting Articles of Association: The Articles of Association (or bylaws) outline the company's purpose, structure, management, and operational procedures. These documents must be carefully drafted in accordance with Equatoguinean law.

Capital Deposit: Depending on the chosen business structure, a minimum capital deposit may be required in a local bank account. Proof of this deposit is a necessary component of the registration application.

Registration with Relevant Authorities: The company must be registered with the Mercantile Registry and other relevant government agencies, such as the Ministry of Commerce and the tax authorities. This involves submitting the required documents and paying applicable fees.

Obtaining Necessary Licenses and Permits: Depending on the nature of your business activities, you may need to obtain specific licenses and permits from various regulatory bodies.
