Mozambique - Establishing an OfficeMozambique - Establishing an Office
There are multiple company structures to choose from when establishing a legal entity in Mozambique, and it can be complicated. The most common legal structure used is the Limited Liability Quota Company structure (Sociedades por Quotas de Responsabilidade Limitada), similar to a U.S. LLC. A local legal services provider should be consulted when determining the best structure. Basic information on how to establish a company in Mozambique can be found on the World Bank’s Doing Business website.
U.S. companies are strongly encouraged to contact the Mozambique Agency for the Promotion of Investment and Exports (APIEX) or a local consultancy firm that can provide general start-up information and assist with registration procedures and permits.
