What does SARL stand for, and what is it called in Arabic?

SARL stands for Société À Responsabilité Limitée: a company of 2 to 50 partners whose liability is limited to their contributions. In Arabic: الشركة ذات المسؤولية المحدودة.

What capital do you need for a SARL in Algeria?

The amount is freely set by the articles of association since Law 15-20 of 2015; 100 000 DZD remains the standard banks ask for. It is handed to the notary at the signing of the statutes (20% or 100%), then returned to the company by cheque once the CNRC registration is obtained. It can be contributed in cash, in kind, or as a mix of both.

How much does it cost to create a SARL in 2026?

UpGrowth Connect package for a SARL with two partners: from 301 610 DZD + capital (344 360 DZD incl. VAT), with 12 months of domiciliation, plus 15 000 DZD excl. VAT for each additional partner. A company is domiciled for 12 months minimum, a bank requirement for opening the account. Totals on an excl. VAT basis: our fees and the domiciliation excl. VAT (19 % VAT added on both), plus the official fees paid in your name, outside UpGrowth's invoice (trade name, register + stamp duty + company stamp, articles of association + BOAL, CNRC BOAL, notary power of attorney and domiciliation contract at the notary). It includes the domiciliation contract and the creation follow-up. A share capital of 100 000 DZD comes on top (your own money, an amount freely set by the articles of association since Law 15-20 of 2015; 100 000 DZD remains the standard banks ask for), of which only 1/5 is paid up at incorporation (20 000 DZD), deposited with the notary and recovered by cheque once the trade register is issued.

How long does it take to create a SARL in Algeria?

We do not state it. Décret exécutif n° 23-169 of 24 April 2023 (art. 9) requires the CNRC and the associated administrations to validate and confirm the registration request within three (3) days. That period belongs to the administration. The NIF is not a separate step where the company is registered through the electronic company creation portal: article 10 of décret exécutif n° 23-169 provides that, once the registration is confirmed, the applicant receives the trade register extract together with the tax and statistical identification numbers, CASNOS or CNAS affiliation and the common identifier. No text sets a separate issuing time for the NIF. The other steps (notary, BOAL, bank) have no published deadline and we put no figure on them.

Which taxes does an Algerian SARL pay?

IBS 19 % (production of goods), 23 % (building, public works and hydraulics, tourism and thermal activities excluding travel agencies), 26 % (services, trade, import and all other activities), article 150-1 of the CIDTA. VAT 9 or 19 %. Monthly G50 (VAT and IRG on salaries). Annual IBS return before 30 April. The taxe sur l'activité professionnelle (TAP) no longer exists: article 14 of the 2024 Finance Act (JO no. 86 of 31 December 2023) repealed articles 217 to 231 of the CIDTA and no local turnover tax replaced it for a SARL.

How many partners can a SARL have?

From 2 to 50 partners. With a single partner the company becomes an EURL (Entreprise Unipersonnelle à Responsabilité Limitée). Beyond 50, the SARL must convert into an SPA.

Is the manager of a SARL covered by CASNOS or by CNAS?

A salaried minority manager: CNAS. A non-salaried majority manager: CASNOS. The partner status and the percentage of shares held determine the social security regime.

Can a SARL be converted into an SPA?

Yes. The conversion requires an extraordinary general meeting (AGE), a capital increase to 1 000 000 DZD minimum (5 000 000 DZD in case of a public offering), the drafting of new articles of association, and a new registration at the CNRC.

I do not live in Algiers: how do I create my company with UpGrowth?

Two formulas, and you choose. Connect Path (Parcours Connect), at the same price, paid at the start: your own space on upgrowth.dz gives you each step, the office of your wilaya, the documents to bring and the fees; UpGrowth prepares the forms and checks each proof, and you go to the local offices yourself. Or UpGrowth does the formalities on site: the same fee, plus travel, counted per round trip and priced in the proposal. In both cases these steps stay yours: opening the bank account, collecting the NIS at the ONS appointment, and the signature at the notary or a notarized power of attorney.

In brief

Everything you need to know about creating a SARL in Algeria in 2026: capital freely set since Law 15-20 of 2015 (100 000 DZD bank standard), notarized articles of association, CNRC formalities, detailed costs, IBS taxation. A step-by-step guide for founders.

What is a SARL in Algeria?

The SARL (Société À Responsabilité Limitée) is the most widespread legal form in Algeria for small and medium companies. It brings together 2 to 50 partners, with a share capital freely set by the articles of association since Law 15-20 of 2015; 100 000 DZD remains the standard banks ask for, and limits each partner's liability to the amount of their contribution.

It is ideal for projects with several partners, for activities carrying commercial risk, and for access to public contracts. On the tax side, the SARL is subject to the IBS (corporate income tax) at a rate of 19 to 26 % depending on the sector.

Conditions for creating a SARL

At least 2 partners, 50 at most (beyond that, the SARL must convert into an SPA).
Share capital freely set by the articles of association since Law 15-20 of 2015; 100 000 DZD remains the standard banks ask for, divided into shares of equal nominal value.
At least one appointed manager (a partner or a third party), a natural person of legal age.
Registered office in Algeria with supporting proof (lease, ownership, or domiciliation).
Lawful corporate purpose, specified in the articles of association (main activity + ancillary activities).

Steps to create a SARL in Algeria

1. Reserve the company name with the CNRC (negative certificate through Sijilcom).
2. Provide the domiciliation or lease contract for the registered office.
3. Sign the articles of association before a notary with every mandatory clause: on the signing day you hand the capital (20% or 100%) to the notary.
4. The notary delivers the statutes and the BOAL publication (Bulletin Officiel des Annonces Légales) and returns the capital to the company by cheque after the trade register.
5. Register the company at the CNRC with the complete file. Décret exécutif n° 23-169 (art. 9) sets a three (3) day period for validating and confirming the registration request.
6. The NIF, the NIS and CASNOS or CNAS affiliation are delivered through the portal once the registration is confirmed (art. 10 of the same decree). Free.
7. Register the non-salaried managers with CASNOS, or the salaried manager + employees with CNAS.

Documents needed

Negative certificate for the company name (CNRC).
Notarized articles of association, 4 original copies, signed with the capital handed to the notary (the notary delivers the statutes and the BOAL publication).
Copy of the national ID card or passport of the partners and of the manager.
Proof of the registered office (commercial lease, title deed, domiciliation contract).
CNRC registration form.
BOAL publication.
Identity photos of the manager (2 copies).

Taxation and obligations of a SARL

IBS (corporate income tax): 19 % (production of goods), 23 % (building, public works and hydraulics, tourism and thermal activities excluding travel agencies), 26 % (services, trade, import and all other activities). Article 150-1 of the CIDTA, as enacted by article 46 of the 2022 Finance Act (JO n° 100 of 30 December 2021, p. 20), which carried forward the three rates set by article 2 of ordonnance n° 15-01 of 23 July 2015 (JO n° 40 of 23 July 2015, p. 6). Where several activities taxed at different rates are carried on at the same time, the profit taxable at each rate is determined by the share of declared or assessed turnover of each activity. Profits reinvested under the conditions of article 142 bis of the CIDTA bear IBS at the reduced rate of 10 % for the 2022 financial year onwards.
The taxe sur l'activité professionnelle (TAP) is no longer due: article 14 of the 2024 Finance Act (loi 23-22, JO no. 86 of 31 December 2023) repealed articles 217 to 231 of the CIDTA. No local turnover tax replaced it for an ordinary SARL; the taxe locale de solidarité created in its place reaches only, under article 231 bis of the CIDTA, hydrocarbon transport by pipeline and mining activities.
VAT: 9 % (reduced rate) or 19 % (standard rate) depending on products and services.
Monthly G50 returns before the 20th of the month (VAT and IRG on salaries).
Annual IBS return to be filed before 30 April.
3 IBS instalments on account: 20 March, 20 June, 20 November.
Full accounting is mandatory, with an annual balance sheet certified by a statutory auditor above a certain threshold.

Greater commercial credibility with banks, suppliers and partners.
Easier access to public contracts and to bank financing.
Possibility of transferring shares (partners joining or leaving).
Eligible for the AAPI (formerly ANDI) exemption schemes and for the Startup Label.
Flexibility in the distribution of shares and in governance (free choice of management).

SARL stands for Société À Responsabilité Limitée: a company of 2 to 50 partners whose liability is limited to their contributions. In Arabic: الشركة ذات المسؤولية المحدودة.
