Administrative Assistance for Startups in Tunisia
The Regulatory Framework for Startups in Tunisia
Tunisia offers a favorable regulatory environment for startups thanks to the 2018 Startup Act, a pioneering legislative framework in Africa. This framework grants labeled companies exceptional tax, social and administrative advantages. Legalium has thorough expertise in this framework and supports Tunisian startups in their administrative structuring, from creation to fundraising.
Startup Label and Associated Benefits
Obtaining the startup label provides access to considerable advantages: corporate tax exemption, state coverage of CNSS contributions, one-year creation leave for employed founders and startup visa for foreign talent. Legalium supports you in preparing the application file and maximizes your chances of success on the first submission.
Financing and Investment
Tunisian startups have access to several funding sources: BFPME (Small and Medium Enterprise Financing Bank), seed funds, venture capital investment companies (SICAR) and business angels. Legalium advises you on the optimal administrative structuring for each type of financing and drafts shareholder agreements and investment conventions.
Accelerators and Ecosystem
Tunisia has a dynamic startup ecosystem with accelerators such as Flat6Labs, Founder Institute and Smart Capital. Legalium supports startups joining these programs in their administrative procedures: intellectual property, partnership contracts, regulatory compliance and preparation for international fundraising rounds.
