How much does it cost to create a company in Algeria 2026?
Simulator built on tariffs published in the Journal officiel: the arrêté of 31 October 2016 as amended in 2020 for CNRC and BOAL, and executive decree 08-243 for the notary scale. Itemised official cost for SARL, EURL, SPA, SNC, EI and auto-entrepreneur: name reservation, CNRC registration, filing of the articles, legal publications. The total shown follows the 2026 UpGrowth Connect price list: our fees excl. VAT, 19 % VAT on them only, and the official fees paid in your name, capital excluded.
Limited Liability Company (SARL)
Your budget, capital excluded
Our invoice
Official fees paid in your name, outside UpGrowth's invoice
From prices: the articles + BOAL line varies with the capital, the number of activity codes, partners and pages.
Capital is not a fee: 1/5 is released at the notary, then returned by cheque after the trade register is issued.
With UpGrowth : 344 360 DZD incl. VAT + capital
Our fees, 19 % VAT on them and the official fees paid in your name. The capital is handed to the notary at the signing.
Décret exécutif n° 23-169 of 24 April 2023 (art. 9) requires the national trade register centre and the associated administrations to validate and confirm the registration request within three (3) days. Once confirmed, the applicant receives through the portal the trade register extract, the tax and statistical identification numbers, CASNOS or CNAS affiliation and the common identifier (art. 10). That is the only deadline written into a statute. We promise no other administrative timeline.
For information, the lines below reproduce the tariffs published in the Journal officiel for the CNRC and the BOAL (arrêté of 31 October 2016 as amended by the arrêté of 8 November 2020). When a line shows two amounts, the first is electronic payment and the second is payment at the counter. Your budget is the total shown above, not the sum of these lines.
Detailed steps
- 1
Réservation dénomination CNRC (recherche d'antériorité)
800 DZDAnteriority search and issue of the attestation: 800 DA at the counter, 700 DA when payment is made electronically, which is the case on Sijilcom. No published text sets a validity period for the certificate.
- 2
Capital handed to the notary at the signing (20% or 100%)
On quoteNot a fee: the client hands the capital (20% or 100%) to the notary on the date the statutes are signed. The notary delivers the statutes and the BOAL publication, then returns the capital to the company by cheque after the trade register. No bank step for a local client.
- 3
Notarial deed of incorporation (statutes)
On quoteNo amount is published for this line. Décret exécutif n° 08-243 of 3 August 2008 sets the notary's official scale (art. 2, annex heading 68-A: 5 % from 1 to 200 000 DA, then degressive down to 0,50 % above 500 000 DA) and forbids the notary any fee outside that scale (art. 9). The exact amount appears on the itemised receipt the notary is required to hand over (art. 7). Instant UpGrowth quote as soon as we have all your information.
- 4
Tax registration of the company deed
On quoteThe registration duty on the company deed falls under the code de l'enregistrement, ordonnance n° 76-105 of 9 December 1976, a text predating 2002 that we could not re-read in its edition in force: we publish neither a rate, nor a minimum, nor a ceiling for it. The tax office and your notary give you the exact amount.
- 5
BOAL publication (Official Legal Notices Bulletin)
3,000-3,750 DZDLegal publicity insertion relating to companies: 3 750 DA per inserted page in the national language, 3 000 DA by electronic payment. The insertion tied to the registration itself is charged separately, 576 DA. Every article 5 insertion tariff, the 576 DA one included, is doubled when the insertion is translated. The total depends on the number of pages, which we do not presume.
- 6
Publication in legal-notices newspaper (daily)
On quoteInsertion in a private legal-announcements newspaper: a freely set commercial price, fixed by no published text. Not to be confused with the BOAL insertion, whose tariff is the one in the arrêté of 31 October 2016.
- 7
CNRC immatriculation (commercial registry)
5,860-8,000 DZDPrincipal registration of a legal person: 7 200 DA at the counter, 5 700 DA by electronic payment. On top comes the capital-based tariff of article 4: 160 DA for capital from 30 000 to 100 000 DA, 560 DA from 100 001 to 300 000 DA, 800 DA above 300 000 DA. Each additional activity code entered on the same register raises the tariff by 240 DA.
- 8
BOAL insertion of the registration
576 DZDInsertion of the registration itself in the official legal-notices bulletin: 576 DA. A line distinct from the per-page company legal publicity above, and due identically for an amendment or a striking off. This line was inside the published totals without appearing among the displayed steps, so the table did not add up: added on 2026-08-23 so the reader can redo the arithmetic.
- 9
Filing statutes with CNRC
960 DZDFiling of articles or deeds, commercial legal persons. The former 800 DA figure shown here belonged to another line of the same article, the issuing of attestations.

FreeAucun texte publié ne fixe de frais pour le NIF et aucun n'affirme sa gratuité (À VÉRIFIER auprès de la DGI). Le NIF n'est pas une démarche séparée lorsque l'entreprise est enregistrée via le portail électronique dédié à la création d'entreprises : l'article 10 du décret exécutif n° 23-169 du 24 avril 2023 prévoit que le demandeur reçoit, après confirmation de l'enregistrement, l'extrait du registre du commerce et les numéros d'identification fiscale et statistique ainsi que l'affiliation CASNOS ou CNAS et l'identifiant commun. Aucun délai de délivrance n'est annoncé en dehors du délai de trois (3) jours de validation et de confirmation fixé à l'article 9 du même décret.

FAQ · Business creation 2026
Is there still a minimum SARL capital?
No. Article 2 of loi n° 15-20 of 30 December 2015 rewrote article 566 of the commercial code: the share capital of a SARL is set freely by the partners in the articles of association. There is no legal minimum capital; in practice the minimum is 100,000 DZD: nobody incorporates below it (UpGrowth practice). At least 1/5 (20,000 DZD) is paid in at creation, the rest within 5 years (art. 567).
What does the total shown include?
Our creation fee (60 000 DZD excl. VAT with our 12-month domiciliation, 90 000 DZD excl. VAT without, plus 15 000 DZD excl. VAT per additional partner), the domiciliation (150 000 DZD excl. VAT, i.e. 178 500 DZD incl. VAT) when you take it, the 19 % VAT on our fees and the domiciliation only, then the official fees paid in your name, outside UpGrowth's invoice: from 58 610 DZD, plus 8 000 DZD for the notary's power of attorney and, with our domiciliation, 10 000 DZD for the domiciliation contract. Capital is not a fee. Examples, capital excluded: EURL 173 710 DZD incl. VAT without domiciliation, 326 510 DZD incl. VAT with 12 months; SARL with two partners 191 560 DZD incl. VAT without, 344 360 DZD incl. VAT with. These are from prices: the articles + BOAL line varies with the capital, the number of activity codes, partners and pages. Every file gets an instant quote as soon as we have all your information.
How much does the Auto-Entrepreneur status cost?
Our fee is 45 000 DZD excl. VAT (19 % VAT added), plus 5 000 DZD for the company stamp and 8 000 DZD for the notary's power of attorney, paid in your name when we file in your place. No trade register and no stamp duties. That is 58 000 DZD before VAT, 66 550 DZD incl. VAT. Décret exécutif n° 23-197 of 25 May 2023 (art. 17) sets a maximum of three (3) working days to process the registration request. That deadline belongs to the ANAE, and we promise no card collection date. Then 0.5% IFU on turnover + CASNOS flat 24,000 DZD/year.
How long does a SARL take?
We do not state it. The only deadline written into a statute is article 9 of décret exécutif n° 23-169 of 24 April 2023: the CNRC and the associated administrations validate and confirm the registration request within three (3) days. Those processing times belong to the administrations and we do not promise them. What we guarantee: an instant quote as soon as we have all your information, a price locked by contract with no hidden fees (19 % VAT added on fees), a complete dossier filed the first time, and a WhatsApp reply within 4 working hours.
What's NOT included in the simulation?
Post-creation costs: company stamp, office rent or domiciliation, accountant, opening and running fees for the business bank account. These are private providers' prices, freely set and unpublished, so we put no figure on them. The one we control: UpGrowth Connect provides domiciliation in Algiers, 150 000 DZD excl. VAT for 12 months, i.e. 178 500 DZD incl. VAT (6 months at 90 000 DZD excl. VAT, i.e. 107 100 DZD incl. VAT, for a sole trader only: 12 months minimum for a company, a bank requirement for opening the account), plus 10 000 DZD for the domiciliation contract at the notary, paid in your name, outside UpGrowth's invoice. For a foreign company: domiciliation in Algiers, from USD 2 400 a year.
Difference between SARL and EURL?
SARL: 2 to 50 associates, requires multiple shareholders. EURL: a single associate (one person owns 100%), simpler governance. Same tax treatment (IBS 19-26%), same liability protection. EURL converts seamlessly to SARL if new associates join later.
