Starting a business in Senegal.

Dal visto d'affari alla registrazione APIX, dall'apertura del conto aziendale alla rete locale — tutto quello che ti serve per partire operativo.

NOTE

Il Senegal offre una procedura fast-track per la registrazione d'impresa tramite APIX: un'azienda può essere costituita in 48 ore una volta pronti i documenti. Il collo di bottiglia è quasi sempre il notaio e il conto bancario (2-4 settimane).
