Free document templates for incorporating a company in Algeria

Founders preparing an Algerian company almost always start with the same question: what does the document actually look like, what sections does it contain, and what will I have to decide before I sit down with a notary. Without that visibility the first appointment is spent discovering the questions instead of answering them.

So we publish the core documents of the incorporation path as editable Word files, free, with no sign-up and no email address requested. They exist to help you prepare, understand and agree with your co-founders. They do not replace the professional who will draft the deed.

Every file carries the same footer: free template provided by UpGrowth, to be validated by your notary. That is the rule, not a formality.

Company deeds in Algeria are drafted in French or Arabic before a notary. An English set of articles of association would carry no weight at the CNRC counter or in a notary's office, so translating the files would actively mislead you.

This page therefore explains each document in English: what it is, which clauses matter, where founders get it wrong and when a notary is mandatory. The file you download stays in French so it can be used as is.

Articles of association of an Algerian commercial company are executed as a notarial deed. A document drafted alone, printed and signed between partners does not create a company and will not be accepted when the registration file is filed. This is the most expensive mistake we see, because it surfaces late, at the counter.

A template also knows nothing about your situation. It cannot tell whether your activity needs a sector licence, whether one of your partners is a non-resident, whether you plan contributions in kind, or whether your shareholders agreement calls for specific clauses. Those belong in a conversation with a professional.

For an EURL, the single-partner company, the minimum observed on our 2026 files is around 156,610 DZD excluding share capital, without domiciliation (173,710 DZD incl. VAT, fees excl. VAT, 19 % VAT added on fees). That breaks down into at least 66,610 DZD of official fees, paid in your name, outside UpGrowth's invoice (trade name 1,000 DZD, registry, stamps and company seal 20,000 DZD, articles and BOAL from 30,000 DZD, CNRC BOAL 7,610 DZD, notary power of attorney 8,000 DZD) plus support fees of 90,000 DZD excl. VAT without domiciliation (60,000 DZD excl. VAT with domiciliation at UpGrowth, which adds 150,000 DZD excl. VAT of domiciliation and 10,000 DZD for the domiciliation contract at the notary). Our support fee rises by 15,000 DZD excl. VAT for each additional partner, so a SARL with two partners comes to around 171,610 DZD excluding capital without domiciliation (191,560 DZD incl. VAT), with support fees of 105,000 DZD excl. VAT (75,000 DZD excl. VAT with domiciliation at UpGrowth).

For an individual, the minimum is 58,000 DZD for an auto-entrepreneur and 83,000 DZD for a sole proprietorship, including the 8,000 DZD notarized power of attorney (fees excl. VAT, VAT 19 % added on fees), with no capital requirement. These are floors: articles and BOAL fees rise with the capital, the number of activity codes, the number of partners and the page count of the articles.

Share capital is not a fee, it is company treasury. On the SARL and EURL files we handle it starts at 100,000 DZD, one fifth released at incorporation and recovered by cheque once the trade register extract is issued.
