Frequently asked questions
How much does company registration cost in Togo?+
The public-service portal currently lists an official procedure cost of 28,250 FCFA for nationals and ECOWAS citizens and 33,250 FCFA for non-ECOWAS nationals. Professional fees, translations, legal work, premises, permits and banking are separate.
Can a foreigner register a company in Togo?+
The public-service procedure includes foreign residents, subject to the listed identity and residence documentation. The correct ownership and management structure should be confirmed for each project.

That decision depends on liability, tax, contracting, staffing, investment incentives and the permanence of operations. TCG coordinates a structured comparison with qualified advisers.
