Small business creation in Cameroon has now become very easy. Many reforms have been taken by the government of Cameroon to ease the creation of businesses. An example is the various Formality Centers for Enterprise Creation. The Small and Medium-sized Enterprise Promotion Agency was created on April 13 2010 to help in providing services that help in the creation and development of small and medium-sized enterprises in Cameroon. Their aim is to bring in as many informal businesses into the formal sector as well as make them more efficient, competitive, innovative and responsible.

Hello,
I am interested in starting up a company in cameroon and needed some pointers on getting it running. Need to know how to register the business and taxes or fees needed to start running it. I also would like to know the cost to start it legitimately. Please let me know where to start to get it running. I am currently in the United states but will probably be there in the summer once my website and app is finalized. I also would need pointers on advertising my company in cameroon to get tourists and locals on board with it.
Please let me know

Hi. I am a masters student in the university of buea carrying out a study on SME use of online marketing in Cameroon. Case study is buea. Will it be possible to get a list of small businesses in Cameroon from the one stop shop in limbe?
Hello, I can’t really tell if they are in the position to give you that. Since it’s for research purposes, they may. Maybe you visit the National Institute of Statistics. They would give the info you need. Their website below. http://www.statistics-cameroon.org/
