"We established a one stop service desk for many services. The first service is starting a company. In 24 hours you can have all the papers. If it’s a limited company, you need 15,000 CFA and your company will be created. Second, you want to have the benefit of the investment code. The government gives you 21 days to have the documentation issued. The third service concerns land. If you need land to establish your business, we offer those services too. We also have a service that helps you with all the information and documentation needed to establish your business. The spirit behind all these services is to provide the best and shortest route to establishing a business. As of the end of September, almost 5,000 businesses have been created at the one stop desk, compared to last year when it was about 3,000. It’s another milestone; it shows that our President is right. The one stop desk takes care of investors, both local and international", says Emmanuel Essis.
