Company Formation in Tunisia
We handle all the set-up formalities for your future company.
You may be far away, or simply lack the time or the knowledge required to set up your company in Tunisia.
We take care of all the legal and administrative formalities required to obtain the documents you need to operate.
Our work begins with an in-depth analysis of your needs in order to steer you towards the ideal structure for your expectations (preliminary investment declaration, choice of legal form, etc.).
Then, with a power of attorney signed at a town hall or at the Tunisian embassy in your country of residence, we carry out on your behalf:
- •The official reservation of your company name
- •The investment declaration (not required for purely commercial activities)
- •The complete drafting of the company's articles of association
- •The drafting of the lease or the domiciliation certificate
- •Registration with all the authorities (RNE, tax administration, CNSS, etc.)

Company formation in Tunisia: your questions
Which legal form should you choose to set up a company in Tunisia?
The most common forms are the SUARL (single-member limited company), the SARL (limited liability company with 2 to 50 partners) and the SA (public limited company with at least 7 shareholders and more structured governance). The choice depends on the number of partners, the capital, the financing plan and the investment regime sought: we help you decide.
Can a foreigner set up a company in Tunisia?
Yes. The Investment Law establishes the freedom to invest, subject to activities requiring authorisation, and a non-resident can hold most or even all of the share capital in most sectors. After incorporation, the foreign-currency investment must be declared to the Central Bank of Tunisia (investment form) within two months, so that dividends can later be transferred abroad.
How long does it take to set up a company?
Once the documents are ready (signed articles, domiciliation, identity documents or power of attorney), registration with the RNE is usually obtained within a few days. For a foreign investor, opening the bank account and paying up the capital must be added: we give you a precise timetable at the first meeting.
