Discusses the legal requirements/options for joint venture/licensing in this market.
Last Published: 11/1/2016
Joint ventures, especially for large projects, are common. Joint ventures are either formed for limited periods, such as for a specific construction contract, or can be long-term ventures, such as in the mining industry. To start a joint venture or acquire a license to operate in Lesotho, a foreign investor must register with the OBFC. The LNDC also plays a facilitating role for foreign investors, providing information to prospective investors, arranging for site visits, and helping with permits and licenses as well as certain operational problems.
