Choose the right register

The Trade Ministry identifies the commercial court in N’Djamena or the competent local court as the filing office. The issued registration certificate carries the RCCM number. Tax identification and activity permits are additional, separate formalities. [1]

ANIE issues an electronic registration certificate after company registration. Contact the responsible RCCM registry for records of an existing third-party company. [2]

Separate incorporation, company information and permits

Current government pages mainly explain incorporation and administration of one’s own company. An online account for one’s own business does not automatically support research on another company. [1] [2]

Avoid common mistakes

  • An NIF identifies the taxpayer. [1]

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to register a foreign business to research a company?
