Who handles registration

Company and business registration in Rwanda is handled through the Rwanda Development Board (RDB), specifically the Office of the Registrar General (ORG). Many official services are also accessed via the government portals (org.rdb.rw and Irembo).

Questions to confirm

Rather than assume a fixed process, confirm the current details for your situation:

  • Which entity type fits your plans (and the implications of each)?
  • What documents and information are required?
  • What are the current steps, fees and timelines?
  • What is needed for a company with foreign ownership?
  • How does registration connect to your tax (TIN) and banking setup?

How we help

We help you understand these questions and prepare for them, and, where appropriate, introduce you to a qualified local professional. We do not register companies and we do not provide legal advice.

Confirm with official sources. We are not affiliated with these bodies; they are where to verify current rules.
