Step-by-Step Guide to Company Registration in Rwanda
Rwanda has simplified the business registration process through the Rwanda Development Board (RDB), allowing local and foreign investors to register companies within a few hours. This efficiency is part of Rwanda’s broader efforts to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) and improve the ease of doing business.
Types of Companies You Can Register in Rwanda:
- Private Limited Company (Ltd)
- Sole Proprietorship
- Public Company
- Branch or Subsidary of a Foreign Company
