The 2026 Guide to Business Registration & OHADA Compliance in Cameroon

Turning bureaucratic hurdles into digital velocity.

Navigating the CFCE in 72 Hours

🏛️ THE 72-HOUR MANDATE

The Centre de Formalités de Création d'Entreprises (CFCE) is designed to be a one-stop-shop for corporate registration. However, without perfectly formatted documents, the 72-hour promise can stretch into weeks.

Opesware’s Legal Tech division digitizes the preparation phase. We structure your Articles of Association, location plans, and capital deposit certificates precisely to the rigorous standards of the Cameroonian Commercial Registry (RCCM). By utilizing smart document generation, we eliminate the typographical errors that commonly cause administrative rejections.

OHADA Structures: SARL vs. SA

Choosing the correct legal vessel under OHADA is the most critical decision a founder makes. While a Sole Proprietorship (Établissement) offers simplicity, a Société à Responsabilité Limitée (SARL) offers asset protection necessary for scaling. Our enterprise consulting teams help you model the tax implications and liability vectors before a single document is signed.

The Turnkey Digital Enterprise

At Opesware, business registration is not just a piece of paper; it's the initialization of an ecosystem. When we register your business, we simultaneously deploy your corporate email infrastructure, initialize your cloud ERP with your new Unique Identification Number (NIU), and integrate your corporate bank accounts with digital payment gateways.
