Doing business in Cameroon

Foreign investors are welcomed in cameroon, what is your line of business?
it is not complicated to register a company as you can start operating while the registration procedure is still going on.
The tax rate depends on the nature of actvities and the amount of capital investment
It is easy to recruite because the level of unemployment is high and workers are always available.
best regards.

Hi
  it is always a pleasure to hear someone is interested in investing in Cameroon.You can take at most 1 working week to start your business in Cameroon. Our taxation system is declarative as such there is no fix rate.You set up your business depending on your capital and the sector of activity and make your declarations or you call for an expert to analyze your investments and determine what you have to pay as taxes.Generally there is a one year period of grace for all businesses or investments above 15000.000FCFA.Whenever you are ready just let us know and we will do our best to provide you with details including a country report on the investment environment.Recruitment is easy but you will have to be careful how you go about it.

Hello Julien,
As a new foreign investor in Cameroon, I will be glad to answer some of your questions.
Investors are very welcome in Cameroon, but you should be aware that the government is working hard on improving the process.
are foreign investors welcome in Cameroon?

Is it complicated to register a company in Cameroon? What is the procedure? I used an attorney to register my business and I will advice anyone to do same.  After all you still need them to notarize the documents. I can recommend a very good lawyer with integrity.

What is the corporate tax rate in Cameroon?  38% but the first three years is free.  It sucks!!

Is it easy to recruit?  Yep. 

Any advice you would share with us?  When in Rome do what the Romans do.

Thank you very much for your participation,
