Frequently Asked Questions
Can a foreigner own 100% of a business in Africa?
In many rapidly developing African nations, 100% foreign ownership is fully permitted, particularly in free trade zones or priority sectors like tech and manufacturing. However, certain sectors (like mining or agriculture) may require local joint venture partners. We help you identify the exact ownership laws for your target jurisdiction.
How long does it take to register a company?
Depending on the country and the complexity of your corporate structure, registration can take anywhere from 3 days to 4 weeks. By utilizing our on-the-ground advisory team, we eliminate paperwork errors and expedite filings directly with local commercial registries.
Do you assist with opening local corporate bank accounts?
Yes. Opening a corporate account as a foreign entity is often the most challenging step due to strict Anti-Money Laundering (AML) laws. Our team prepares all necessary board resolutions, source-of-funds declarations, and liaises with major regional banks on your behalf.
