Below is detailed information on what steps to take to register a business and obtain a Forex broker license in Cape Verde. The information includes the procedures, timing and cost of starting a business and obtaining a license for a commercial enterprise.
Agency: Commercial Trade Department (Casa Do cidadão)
Investors provide a proposed company name and activities. The research is carried out by the Department of Trade Registry (Casa Do cidadão), which approves or rejects the names. The registry is computerized, so the verification process is very fast.
Process – 1 day
Agency: Commercial Trade Department (Casa Do cidadão)
After the authorized person goes to the Commercial Department of Trade (Casa Do cidadão), the company is registered through the internal online registration form. The company incorporation notice is published on the Casa do Cidadão website. A company tax number is assigned automatically and free of charge.
Process – 1 day
Registration fees – about 200 USD
Agency: Commercial Bank of Cape Verde
In practice, Casa Do cidadão requires founders to make a deposit within two days of registration.
For companies that are not registered using the “Empresa no Dia” fast registration method, the minimum amount of the authorized capital is deposited with the bank prior to registration.
Process – 1 day
Agency: Municipality
There are two types of licenses in Cape Verde: a municipal license and an operating license. A municipal license is compulsory for all businesses operating in Praia. An inspection is usually carried out before the granting of a municipal license.
However, since the adoption of the Decreto-Lei on 30/2009, the inspection of the municipality can be carried out “posteriori” and the enterprise can start operating before receiving the municipal license.
The license can be checked online through the following web portal:

Obtaining a license – 8 days
Official duty – about 400 USD
An activity license, as its name implies, is obtained for the activity that the company is going to carry out. This license is optional for all companies. For example, if a commercial company does not carry out activities for the export-import of goods, it does not need to obtain such a license.
If a company applies for two licenses at once, then the inspection of the Municipality is carried out simultaneously by two inspectors.
