ORINASA platform, EDBM one-stop shop, Polish-speaking account manager on-site. We do this regularly — we know which paper goes to which drawer.

Why SARL?

SARL (Société à Responsabilité Limitée) is the Malagasy equivalent of a limited liability company. For a foreigner, it's the most flexible and secure business form — and often the only path to a Resident Card and legal property purchase.

Residency foundation

A SARL provides formal grounds for residence — simplifies obtaining the Resident Card.

Property purchase

Through a SARL you can legally buy property in Madagascar — without complex structures.

Capital protection

Liability limited to company capital. Your personal assets are separated.

How EDBM works

Antananarivo — Madagascar's capital, headquarters of EDBM. Nosy Be — your final destination.

EDBM (Economic Development Board of Madagascar) is a "one-stop shop" for business registration. The new ORINASA online system cuts average registration time to 1.8 days, with standard cases fitting within 2–5 business days.

Sounds simple? It is — provided you know the local requirements: articles adapted to Malagasy law, documents translated per authority requirements, properly deposited capital, correct tax ID and commercial register. A single mistake can set you back weeks.

What's required?

The document list depends on your situation and partners' nationalities. Registration covers several formal steps at EDBM, tax office and commercial register — we handle this for you.

After a brief conversation we'll send you a complete, personalized document list and timeline.

Company + Resident Card = stable residence

A SARL is often the first step toward a Resident Card. Both processes are worth planning in parallel — you'll save time and money. See the visa procedure →

Frequently asked questions

In most cases, no. We handle registration remotely — authenticated powers of attorney are required. We'll discuss details individually.

No. As a foreigner you can be the sole shareholder in a SARL. Some sectors do require a local partner — we'll check this for your business profile.

The tax system has several thresholds and preferences — specifics depend on industry and turnover. We work with a local accountant who'll guide your full reporting.
