Is it complicated to register a company in Rwanda? What is the procedure?

Hello Everyone,

As said, it is quiet easy to register a business in Rwanda compared to many other countries in the World.

I have registered with a German friend a firm within 24hours, it took almost one week to finish all the process of openning an office (bank account, legal documents, insurance, etc.)

As far as the government is concerned, you need only your ID, proof of residency (even your home country proof is acceptable), proof of payment of Rwf 15000 (almost 25$) a copy of valid passport with entry visa in it, (in case you are physically here), a photo. All other data concerning amount to be invested in filled in a form that is given to you by official or that you can download at rdb.rw

Regards

David

Additional information about Julien's question

What is the corporate tax rate in Rwanda? 30%

Is it easy to recruit? Very easy, post your job on several local websites (free), ads in 2 newspapers (imvaho and newtimes), and you will have hundreds of candidates.

Any advice you would share with us? I will advice you to visit rdb.rw which is an official institution in charge on investment matters. You will find much more information related to opening, running, liquidating, ... a business in Rwanda or you can contact me on the phone number that I posted in the first reply.

Thank you very much for your participation,
