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. Notary fees and the registration duty are shown on quote, not costed.
Limited Liability Company (SARL)
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.
Official fees only. The totals add up the lines whose tariff is set by a text, CNRC and BOAL (arrêté of 31 October 2016 as amended by the arrêté of 8 November 2020). Items marked On quote, the registration duty and the share capital are not included. Lower bound: electronic payment. Upper bound: payment at the counter.
Detailed steps
- 1
CNRC name reservation (negative certificate)
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 deposit at the bank (blocking certificate)
On quoteBank charges for blocking the share capital: the price of a private institution, set by no published text. We put no figure on it. Your bank gives it to you when the account is opened.
- 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). Firm UpGrowth quote within 48h.
- 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.
- 10
Company book + seal + stamp
On quoteRegister, seal and stamp: supplies bought from private providers, at free prices that no published text fixes. We put no figure on them.
- 11
Tax card (NIF, Tax Identification Number)
FreeFree. The NIF is not a separate procedure when the company is registered through the electronic portal dedicated to company creation: article 10 of décret exécutif n° 23-169 of 24 April 2023 provides that the applicant receives, once the registration is confirmed, the trade register extract and the tax and statistical identification numbers, together with CASNOS or CNAS affiliation and the common identifier. No issuance time is announced beyond the three (3) day validation and confirmation period set by article 9 of the same decree.
- 12
CNAS affiliation (employees) / CASNOS (managers)
FreeAffiliation is free. The contributions that follow are separate.
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. You can technically incorporate with 1 DZD symbolic capital. In practice, 100,000 DZD remains the standard expected by partners (banks, public tenders, suppliers).
Why a gap between min and max cost?
Because the CNRC and BOAL tariffs carry two amounts depending on how you pay. The lower bound assumes electronic payment, the upper bound payment at the counter, and a single BOAL insertion page. The gap therefore does not come from notary fees, which are not in the total: the scale of décret 08-243, heading 68-A, sets them at 5 % on the band from 1 to 200,000 DA and degressively above, but we put no figure on them here. The registration duty on the company deed falls under the code de l'enregistrement, a 1976 ordonnance we could not re-read in its current edition, so we publish neither a rate nor a ceiling for it. Every file gets a firm quote within 48h.
How much does the Auto-Entrepreneur status cost?
No published text sets a price for the ANAE card, so we state none. No notary, no capital, no commercial registry. Entirely online via anae.dz. 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: a firm quote within 48 hours, a price locked by contract with no hidden 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 Birkhadem, 150 000 DZD for 12 months or 90 000 DZD for 6 months.
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.
