Business domiciliation in Algiers , the complete 2026 guide

Business domiciliation with UpGrowth Connect, at the Birkhadem office in Algiers, costs 150,000 DZD for 12 months and 90,000 DZD for 6 months. The contract is written and its statutory minimum duration is 3 months. It is renewable indefinitely under Law 91-08.

A minimum of 75,000 DZD for a sole proprietorship or auto-entrepreneur, and 148,610 DZD plus capital for a legal entity (SARL, EURL, SPA, SNC). Both totals include the UpGrowth fee, from 60,000 DZD (for a single-partner legal entity: 90,000 DZD without domiciliation, 60,000 DZD with domiciliation at UpGrowth, plus 15,000 DZD per additional partner), and the state fees. They rise with the capital, the number of associates, the number of activity codes and the page count of the statutes, so the firm quote follows the diagnostic.

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. Statutes and BOAL scale with capital, activity codes, number of associates and page count.

No. Share capital is a blocked bank deposit, not a fee. On a capital of 100,000 DZD only one fifth is paid up at constitution, that is 20,000 DZD lodged with the notary, and it is recovered by cheque once the commercial registry issues. It is company treasury, not an expense.

100,000 DZD for both a SARL and an EURL, as a blocked deposit. 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 6 months at 90,000 DZD and 12 months at 150,000 DZD, and the contract is renewable indefinitely under Law 91-08.

Eligibility is read off the first digit of the six-position CNRC activity code. Eligible at the Birkhadem office are sector 3 (wholesale trade), sector 6 (services), sector 7 (export), and building works, codes 109xxx and 410xxx.

Sector 1 (industrial production of goods) and sector 5 (retail) are not eligible at the Birkhadem office, because both need physical premises. Sector 2 (craft production) is partial: mobile services pass, a workshop does not. Sector 4 (import) is referred to specialised partners.

Yes. An ineligible activity does not block the creation itself: only the domiciliation moves. It then happens at your own commercial premises, or through a specialised partner. UpGrowth Connect handles the creation either way.

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, the bank 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 Birkhadem office usable on the commercial registry and the tax card, mail reception with unlimited PDF scanning, administrative WhatsApp support answered within 4 business hours, and a renewable contract.

Yes, under the same CNRC sector eligibility rules. For an individual, the minimum cost of the creation is 75,000 DZD: the UpGrowth fee from 60,000 DZD, plus 15,000 DZD of registry, tax stamps and seal, 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: free diagnostic call and validation of the CNRC code, firm quote and document checklist, signature of the domiciliation contract at Birkhadem 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, but the route differs. A company with foreign shareholders goes through AAPI investment registration, a CEDAC foreign-currency account and an Algerian-resident manager. 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.

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.
