The total cost of creating a business in Tunisia in 2026 ranges from 800 to 2,500 Tunisian dinars depending on the legal form and project complexity. This amount does not include the share capital itself, which remains the company's property. Creation costs break down into several items: registration of articles, legal publication, Commercial Registry registration, and bank fees.
The article registration fees at the tax office constitute the first expense item. The registration duty is calculated based on the share capital, with a minimum collection amount. For an LLC with 1,000 TND capital, registration fees amount to approximately 150 TND. Tax stamps on the articles and certified copies represent an additional cost of approximately 50 to 80 TND.
Publication in the Official Journal of the Tunisian Republic (JORT) is mandatory for any company incorporation. The cost of this publication is approximately 100 to 200 TND depending on the length of the announcement. This publication makes the company creation enforceable against third parties and is an essential formality for the legal validity of the registration.
Commercial Registry registration fees are set by decree and amount to approximately 60 TND. These fees cover the company's registration in the national registry and the issuance of the registration number. The National Enterprise Registry (RNE) also charges fees for creating the company's electronic file.
Notary or lawyer fees for drafting the articles vary by firm and the complexity of statutory clauses. Expect between 300 and 800 TND for custom article drafting by a legal professional. If you use Legalium, our all-inclusive creation fees start from 490 TND, covering drafting, formalities, and complete file follow-up.
Banking fees related to account opening and capital deposit are generally 50 to 100 TND. Some banks offer preferential conditions for new businesses, including free account maintenance for the first year. It is recommended to compare offers from different banks before proceeding with the capital deposit.
Additional costs may arise depending on your situation: sworn translation of documents for foreign partners (100 to 200 TND per document), signature legalization at the municipality (free to 20 TND), and travel expenses for various administrations. Domiciliation, if you choose this solution rather than a commercial lease, costs between 500 and 1,500 TND per year.
