Cambodia Business Registration

It is vital that foreign nationals intending to invest or establish a business in Cambodia secure a business license and company registration as required under Cambodian law. For most business models and investments in Cambodia the formation of a limited liability company offers the most security and protection for shareholders and operators. However, sole proprietorships and partnership formations offer lower cost solutions to comply with business registration laws.

Sole Proprietorship: The sole proprietorship formation is the lowest cost option to secure a business license in Cambodia. It is a business/enterprise established and operated by a sole individual who fully owns all business assets and capital. Any obligations and liabilities incurred during business operations are the exclusive responsibility of the sole proprietor and business owner.

Partnership: This option is more suitable for business partners preferring a low cost company formation structure and happy to except and share full responsibility of company obligations and liabilities when operating from within a general partnership (a limited partnership however is another option).

Limited Liability Company: The forming of a Limited Liability Company (LLC) is by far the most common company formation option and solution to obtain a business license to comply with Cambodian law and allow foreign investors to conduct business for profit operations in Cambodia. This company structure offers owner/s and director/s liability protections in the form of limited liability. However a LLC formation is more complicated and more expensive to produce.

The first step to form a company and obtain a business license in Cambodia requires a company name search to be conducted by the Department of Intellectual Property and Department of Commercial Registration. The Ministry of Commerce (MOC) takes around seven working days to approve company name applications.

The Process of Incorporation of a Private Limited Company

The first step to form a Limited Company (LLC) and obtain a business license in Cambodia requires a company name search to be conducted by the Department of Intellectual Property and Department of Commercial Registration. The Ministry of Commerce (MOC) takes around seven working days to approve company name applications.

The private limited company will be incorporated by the filling of a Company Establishment Declaration with the Ministry of Commerce (MOC). The company can have from one to thirty individual or corporate shareholders and any number of directors can be appointed. Majority foreign owned limited companies can generally partake in a full range of business activities in Cambodia once the submission of the company application and documents has been made. It normally takes four weeks to process the application.

Every Cambodian company (LLC) must register with the Ministry of Economy within fourteen days of operation to obtain VAT and Patent Tax Certificates. The Patent Tax Certificate is applied for once the company has been formed and takes around six weeks to obtain.
