Service overview
TCG can act as a local liaison, business representative or country-operations coordinator depending on the client’s legal presence and written mandate.
We distinguish representation from authority to sign. This protects the client, local counterparties and TCG.

Frequently asked questions
Can TCG sign contracts for our company?+
Not under the standard liaison service. Signing authority is only considered under a specific written mandate after legal and tax review.
Can a representative create a taxable presence in Togo?+
Potentially. Togolese tax rules address permanent establishments and representatives who habitually negotiate or conclude contracts. The structure must be reviewed before authority is granted.
What is a virtual country office?+
It is an outsourced local coordination function providing a point of contact, meetings, follow-up and reporting without automatically creating a fully staffed office.
