Cameroon Business Registration Project (EasyBusiness.cm)

Cameroon Business Registration Project (EasyBusiness.cm)

The Cameroon Business Registration Project expands and modernizes the country’s digital single window for business registration, strengthening access to entrepreneurship across the country.

Led by the Ministry of SMEs and the Agency for the Promotion of SMEs (APME), with technical support from UNCTAD and funding from the European Union and the French Development Agency (AFD), the project builds on the success of MyBusiness.cm, consolidating the performance in Douala, Yaoundé, Garoua and extending its reach to seven new regional Centers for Business Formalization (CFCEs).

The upgraded system is now accessible at: https://easybusiness.cm.

With EasyBusiness.cm, Cameroon is setting a new benchmark for accessible, standardized, and transparent business registration services, supporting entrepreneurship and economic growth at the national level.
