Mauritania - Joint Ventures/LicensingMauritania - Joint Ventures/Licensing
To establish a joint venture, foreign investors and their local partners must create a commercial company and register it in Mauritania. The Government requires that any person who wants to create a new joint venture company to do it through a notary office. There are several notaries in Nouakchott who specialize in the creation of new companies. Foreign investors and their local partners must prepare the following documents and have them notarized: the contract establishing the creation of the joint venture, the rules and procedures of a constituent assembly, and the regulations and articles of the new company.
The existing joint ventures in Mauritania are primarily with companies from other Arab countries and are mainly in the mining, fishing, telecommunications, and banking sectors. However, businesses in many sectors are seeking to expand such ventures with a wide array of foreign partners, including companies from the United States. The Government of Mauritania offers a wide range of incentives to foreign investors, including tax breaks, unlimited transfers of funds, and access to land.
