Registration that used to take weeks can now be completed in under 10 days through the APIX one-stop shop. Foreign entrepreneurs can own 100% of their company and serve as directors without being resident in SenegalnnFor international residents already living in Dakar, starting a business here combines the advantages of a growing market, lower operating costs than Europe, and access to the entire ECOWAS (Economic Communaut\u00e9 of West African States) zone of 400 million people.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"rounded-4 p-4 p-lg-5 shadow-sm visene-ohada-card\" style=\"background: #eef8ff; color: #F5C518;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"d-flex align-items-start gap-3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"bi bi-shield-check fs-2\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"mb-3\">OHADA \u2014 the legal framework that matters<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"visene-body-text mb-0\"><p>Senegal is part of OHADA (Organisation pour l\u2019Harmonisation en Afrique du Droit des Affaires) \u2014 a unified commercial law system covering 17 Francophone and Lusophone African countries.
