Business domiciliation in Algiers , the complete 2026 guide

Business domiciliation with UpGrowth Connect, at the office in Algiers, costs 150,000 DZD excl. VAT for 12 months (VAT 28,500 DZD, i.e. 178,500 DZD incl. VAT). The 6-month option (90,000 DZD excl. VAT, VAT 17,100 DZD, i.e. 107,100 DZD incl. VAT) is reserved for sole traders: 12 months minimum for a company. The domiciliation contract at the notary adds 10,000 DZD, paid in your name, outside UpGrowth's invoice. The contract is written and its statutory minimum duration is 3 months. It is renewable indefinitely under Law 91-08. Payment is in cash by appointment, at your premises, or by bank transfer.

A minimum of 58,000 DZD for an auto-entrepreneur and 83,000 DZD for a sole proprietorship, and 156,610 DZD plus capital for a legal entity without domiciliation (SARL, EURL, SPA, SNC: 173,710 DZD incl. VAT for an EURL), or 286,610 DZD plus capital with 12 months of domiciliation at UpGrowth (326,510 DZD incl. VAT). These totals include the UpGrowth fee, from 60,000 DZD excl. VAT (for a single-partner legal entity: 90,000 DZD excl. VAT without domiciliation, 60,000 DZD excl. VAT with domiciliation at UpGrowth, plus 15,000 DZD excl. VAT per additional partner), the domiciliation where taken (150,000 DZD excl. VAT) and the official fees paid in your name, outside UpGrowth's invoice (fees and domiciliation excl. VAT, VAT 19 % added on both). They rise with the capital, the number of associates, the number of activity codes and the page count of the statutes, so the quote is instant as soon as we have all your information.

58,610 DZD minimum: commercial name 1,000 DZD, registry plus tax stamps plus seal 20,000 DZD, statutes and BOAL from 30,000 DZD, BOAL CNRC 7,610 DZD. On top come 8,000 DZD for the notary's power of attorney on every creation and, with our domiciliation, 10,000 DZD for the domiciliation contract at the notary. These official fees are paid in your name, on official receipts, outside UpGrowth's invoice. Statutes and BOAL scale with capital, activity codes, number of associates and page count.

No. Share capital is not a fee: you hand it to the notary on the date the statutes are signed (20 % or 100 %), the notary delivers the statutes and the BOAL publication, then returns the capital to the company by cheque once the commercial registry issues. On a capital of 100,000 DZD paid up at 20 %, that is 20,000 DZD handed to the notary. It is company treasury, not an expense.

100,000 DZD for both a SARL and an EURL, handed to the notary at the signing of the statutes and returned to the company after the trade register. A SPA sits between 1 and 5 million DZD. A sole proprietorship and an auto-entrepreneur require no capital at all.

Yes. It is governed by article 549 ter of the Algerian Code of Commerce, introduced by Law 96-27, by Law 91-08 of 27 April 1991, and by executive decree 11-43 which sets the licensing conditions for domiciliation centres. Only a licensed agency may domicile a company, and it must keep a register of the companies it domiciles.

It is the assignment of a legal administrative address to a company or a sole trader. That address appears on the commercial registry, on the statutes, on the tax card (NIF) and on every official document. It is distinct from the operating address, workshop, store or worksite, when the activity allows.

Three months, in writing. That is the statutory floor. UpGrowth Connect offers 12 months at 150,000 DZD excl. VAT (178,500 DZD incl. VAT), and 6 months at 90,000 DZD excl. VAT (107,100 DZD incl. VAT) for a sole trader only (12 months minimum for a company). The contract is renewable indefinitely under Law 91-08.

Eligibility is read off the first digit of the six-position CNRC activity code. For a company, eligible in Algiers are sector 3 (wholesale trade), sector 6 (services), sector 7 (export), and construction (CNRC group 109 only). An individual (auto-entrepreneur, sole proprietorship) is domiciled only for service codes, sector 6. Restaurants and food service, cafés and any business that receives its customers in its own premises are never domiciled, and UpGrowth does neither the creation nor the domiciliation for alcohol, pork, gambling and betting. For an activity that is not listed, state it in your request: eligibility is read off its CNRC code before any yes.

Not eligible in Algiers are sector 1 (production of goods, except group 109 construction), sector 4 (import) and sector 5 (retail): the CNRC refuses to domicile them. Sector 2 (craft production) is partial: mobile services may be eligible, checked case by case, a workshop is not. Never domiciled are restaurants and all food service (group 601), cafés, and any business that receives its customers in its own premises, because the seat is then the premises, under a lease. UpGrowth does neither the creation nor the domiciliation for alcohol, pork, gambling and betting.

Yes, except for alcohol, pork, gambling and betting, which we do not create. An activity that is not eligible for domiciliation does not block the creation itself: only the seat moves, and it is then your own premises, under a lease. UpGrowth Connect handles the creation in that case.

The domiciliation address is the legal address of the company, the one that appears on the commercial registry and the tax card. The operating address is where the activity is actually carried out. The two may differ when the activity allows, and must coincide when the activity requires inspected premises.

We do not put a delivery date in writing, because the calendar belongs to the administrations. What the texts do say: executive decree 23-169 of 24 April 2023 (art. 9) requires the CNRC and the associated administrations to validate and confirm the registration request within three days. That is their period, not a commitment from us. The notary and the BOAL run their own calendars. What we control is a complete dossier at the first filing and a status update at every step.

A domiciliation certificate issued at signature, an address at the office in Algiers usable on the commercial registry and the tax card, mail reception with unlimited PDF scanning (8 000 DZD value), administrative WhatsApp support (9 000 DZD value), 17 000 DZD in total, and a renewable contract.

A file rejected because of a mistake on our part is redone at our expense, official fees of the new filing included. A rejection due to a missing or wrong document you provided, or to a name you chose, is not covered.

Yes, but only for service codes (sector 6): in wholesale, construction, export or any other sector an individual needs real premises, and the activity can be carried in a company (EURL or SARL) domiciled with us. For an individual, the minimum cost of the creation is 83,000 DZD (fees excl. VAT, VAT 19 % added on fees): the UpGrowth fee from 60,000 DZD excl. VAT, plus 15,000 DZD of registry, tax stamps and seal and 8,000 DZD for the notarized power of attorney, paid in your name, with no capital to deposit.

Any change of registered office or of director must be declared within one month. The obligation sits with the domiciled company, and it also covers a change of domiciliation address.

Six steps: your written request on WhatsApp or the form (answered within 4 working hours) and validation of the CNRC code, instant quote and document checklist, signature of the domiciliation contract in Algiers with an immediate certificate, notarial deed at Dely Brahim for the statutes, CNRC registration to obtain the commercial registry, then tax card (NIF), CASNOS affiliation, professional bank account and company seal.

Yes, in Algiers, from USD 2,400 a year, but the route differs. A company with foreign shareholders follows its own chain: a CEDAC foreign-currency account, an Algerian-resident manager and, where it applies, AAPI investment registration, which gives access to the incentives of Law 22-18 but is not a condition for creating the company. That chain is detailed on our soft landing page, upgrowth.dz/en/soft-landing-algeria.

Yes, with no cap on the number of renewals under Law 91-08. The contract stays written at each renewal and its duration cannot fall below three months. Is your contract ending soon? Renewal costs 150,000 DZD excl. VAT for 12 months (178,500 DZD incl. VAT), one contract per registry; the 6-month option at 90,000 DZD excl. VAT is for a sole trader only, and a company keeps 12 months minimum. Instant quote as soon as we have all your information.Renew my domiciliation

The tax card (NIF), the statistical identification number (NIS), CASNOS affiliation, opening a professional bank account and the company seal. Then come the recurring obligations: the G50 or IFU return depending on the tax regime, and the annual CASNOS contribution.

The move is a change of seat on the commercial registry, official fees on top, paid in your name. The 12-month domiciliation is added: 150,000 DZD excl. VAT (178,500 DZD incl. VAT), plus the domiciliation contract at the notary, 10,000 DZD, paid in your name, with the certificate on the day of signature. Your activity must be eligible at the Birkhadem office by its CNRC code. A company owned by a foreign company or a foreign person is domiciled in Algiers, from 2,400 USD a year.
