Do you want to register a startup in Cameroon? Do you have a startup that you have not registered and wants to get external funding? One of our leads told me she had put up a concept and a strategy for her startup. She said she had already bought a domain name for her startup and is in the process of designing the website.
What was her problem? She wanted to know at what stage is it recommended for her to actually register a startup in Cameroon so that it becomes a legal entity. This was in regards to getting external funding and other 3rd party services.
If your case is like hers and the business is going to incur liabilities, then I will advise you incorporate your company now. It’s safe for you to incorporate quickly in order to get personal protection and reduce your liability. The moment you engage in activities that you may become personally liable, know that it’s time to register a startup in Cameroon as a limited company.

Incorporating your startup is the first step of branding. It’s risky going out to the public with an attractive brand when you have not yet incorporated the business. A smart competitor who may have insider information can take advantage of this and incorporate before you do. Note that protecting your brand is recommended if you plan to keep running the business under the name you choose.
I don’t think you will want to put all your efforts into developing a brand and then lose it to someone else who has incorporated the same name. Just imagine the effort you have put in branding – designing the logos, website, colors, etc.
