Questions our clients ask

A Tunisian company wins a contract in Côte d'Ivoire: does it need a subsidiary?
Not necessarily. Depending on the length and nature of the contract, a branch or a subsidiary may be appropriate; OHADA law governs these choices. We compare them with our local relays, tax included.
A West African customer is not paying: how can the debt be recovered quickly?
The OHADA payment order provides an enforceable title without lengthy proceedings when the claim is certain, liquid and due. We use it with our local correspondents, together with protective attachments where needed.
