Support for company formation in Tunisia
Horizons Audit & Consulting supports Tunisian and international entrepreneurs throughout the different stages of company formation in Tunisia.
Our services cover project assessment, selection of the appropriate legal structure, analysis of the applicable tax regime, incorporation formalities and assistance with public authorities and financial institutions.
Our objective is to facilitate the establishment of the company and, from the outset, implement a legal, tax, financial and administrative structure suited to its activities.
Our services
Market research and economic information
Before incorporation, we can assist project promoters in analysing their economic environment and market:
- Overview of the business sector
- Analysis of the potential market
- Identification of the target market
- Preparation of the operational marketing plan
Choice of legal structure
We advise our clients on selecting the most appropriate legal structure — including S.A., SARL, SCI or branch — according to the proposed management model, business activity and investment structure.
This analysis takes into account:
- The proposed governance system
- Participation of investment funds or SICARs in the share capital
- Potential execution of public contracts
- Potential recourse to public offerings
Choice of tax regime and analysis of available incentives
Horizons Audit & Consulting assists investors in identifying the tax regime applicable to their activities and analysing the tax and financial incentives that may be available depending on the nature, location and characteristics of the project.
This analysis may include:
- Companies operating wholly or primarily for export
- Companies benefiting from the Startup Label
- Investments in regional development areas
- Agricultural development projects
- Healthcare or educational establishments
- Cultural production activities
- Companies specialising in waste collection, recovery and recycling
- Projects potentially eligible for schemes applicable to investments of national interest
Eligibility conditions, rates, durations and applicable incentives must be assessed according to the regulations in force and the specific circumstances of each project.
