How Much It Costs to Open a Company in Mozambique
The total cost of opening a company in Mozambique depends on the legal form, share capital, activity and municipality where it will operate.
Costs fall into three blocks: official fees (name reservation, commercial registration, publication), licensing costs (trading licence and inspections, varying by municipality and sector) and professional fees.
The chosen regime matters: a sole trader involves a lighter process than a private limited company, and an S.A. is the most demanding in capital and formalities.
We publish fixed-price packages per regime, including digital and physical document delivery, so you know exactly what you will pay before starting.
