Anjouan Company Formation
Message us on Telegram or WhatsApp for fast assistance!
Anjouan company formation is a fast, low-cost way to set up an offshore International Business Company (IBC) in the Union of the Comoros. An IBC offers 0% corporate tax on international income, 100% foreign ownership, no minimum share capital and remote incorporation, typically within 1–2 weeks. It suits iGaming, holding, IP, trading and digital businesses, and can hold an Anjouan gambling license.
Legarithm handles the full process, from name check and incorporation documents to registered-agent arrangements, UBO filing and bank or EMI applications. The structure can also be combined with UAE or Cyprus company formation where needed. See our company formation hub to compare options.
Why Legarithm for your Anjouan company formation
Anjouan is a young, cost-efficient jurisdiction where speed and affordability are key advantages. Banking access and reputation require more careful planning. Setting up the structure correctly from the start — including the registered agent, legal address, UBO documentation and banking plan — helps ensure the company is ready for real business activity.
We are a licensed corporate-services provider handling Anjouan formations remotely through the ALSI process. Each IBC is paired with a practical EMI or banking plan and, where appropriate, a gambling license or a stronger second jurisdiction. You work with one team from the name check through to the bank account application.

Does an Anjouan IBC pay tax?
An Anjouan IBC pays 0% corporate tax on income from international operations. Tax obligations may still arise where the owners or the business are resident.
Can a foreigner own 100% of an Anjouan company?

Is a local office or director required in Anjouan?
No local director or physical office is required, but a registered agent and legal address in Anjouan are mandatory for the IBC. Both are arranged as part of the formation package.
Do I need a separate company for an Anjouan gambling license?
The license must be held by a legal entity — either an Anjouan IBC or a foreign-incorporated company approved by the regulator. Most operators register an Anjouan IBC specifically for the license; see our Anjouan gambling license page.
Can I open a bank account after registration?
Yes. We assist with applications and introductions to banks, EMIs and PSPs that work with Anjouan IBCs. Approval depends on the provider’s requirements and compliance review.
Can an Anjouan IBC hold crypto or be used with UAE or Cyprus companies?
