Service overview

We coordinate company setup in Togo with the CFE, API-ZF and qualified legal, tax, banking and sector specialists.

TCG does not replace a lawyer, notary or regulated adviser. We manage the workplan, document flow, stakeholder follow-up and launch dependencies.

Who this service is for

  • Foreign shareholders creating a Togolese subsidiary
  • Companies opening a branch or project office
  • Entrepreneurs relocating or investing in Lomé

Indicative timing

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.

Should we open a subsidiary or branch?+

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