Setting up a business in Cameroon has never been easier, thanks to the comprehensive company incorporation services provided by Prime Time Law Offices. Our streamlined process ensures that clients can establish their businesses without the need for travel. Below is a detailed breakdown of the 10 steps we follow to help you successfully incorporate your business in Cameroon.
Step 1: Initial Preparation and Engagement
Before we begin, we request the following from our clients:
Payment of our service fees to manage the incorporation process.
Signing and returning the engagement letter to confirm our collaboration.
Providing scanned copies of required documents for due diligence checks.
This ensures that the process starts efficiently and without delays.
Step 2: Drafting a Comprehensive Project Plan
Our project manager creates a detailed project roadmap, outlining every step of the Cameroon company formation and corporate bank account opening process. This transparent plan keeps clients informed at every stage.
Step 3: Preparing and Sending Required Documents
We prepare critical incorporation documents, including:
The Articles of Association.
Shareholders’ and directors’ consent forms.
Clients are required to sign these documents before a notary public and return them to us via courier for further processing.
Step 4: Conducting a Company Name Search
Our team, including a notary public, performs a thorough company name search with the Companies Registry to ensure the uniqueness and availability of the proposed business name.
Step 5: Opening a Business Bank Account
We assist clients in opening a business bank account with a reputable bank in Cameroon. This includes depositing the required initial share capital, a critical step in the incorporation process.
Step 6: Filing Incorporation Documents
After agreeing on the optimal corporate structure, we prepare and file all necessary documents with the Trade and Personal Property Credit Register, completing the legal registration of the company.
Step 7: Publishing the Notice of Incorporation
Once the company is incorporated, we publish the notice of incorporation in Cameroon’s official legal newspaper, the Cameroun Tribune, as required by law.
Step 8: Registering with Tax and Social Security Authorities
We declare the company’s existence to relevant government bodies, including:
The Cameroon Tax Administration to obtain a Tax Identification Number (TIN).
The National Social Insurance Fund (CNPS) for social security registration.
Step 9: Additional Support Services (Optional)
If needed, we assist clients with:
Securing business premises in Cameroon.
Recruiting local staff to meet operational needs.
