Company establishment coordination

We manage the process of setting up your Cambodian entity: scoping it, briefing the licensed professionals who carry out regulated work, and keeping every step moving.

In short

Company establishment coordination means we scope the structure, brief licensed Cambodian lawyers, accountants or registered agents, track documents and registrations, and give you a handover checklist. We are not a law firm: regulated filings are carried out and signed off by licensed professionals.

Who it is for

  • Foreign companies setting up a subsidiary, branch or representative office
  • Investors who also want to apply for Qualified Investment Project status
  • Teams that want one point of coordination rather than managing several advisers

What you get

  • Structure options explained in plain language, with questions for counsel
  • A scope and brief for licensed Cambodian professionals, agreed with you
  • Document checklist and coordination of translation and notarisation as required
  • Tracking of registrations: Ministry of Commerce, tax, sector licences and, if relevant, the Council for the Development of Cambodia
  • Handover checklist covering what is done, what is open and upcoming obligations

What we need from you

  • Your planned activities, shareholders and directors
  • Corporate documents from your home jurisdiction
  • Your timeline and any licences your sector requires

  • Legal, tax or accounting advice. These are provided by licensed professionals engaged for that purpose.
  • A guaranteed timeline or approval. Authorities decide.

Questions

Can a foreigner own 100% of a company in Cambodia?

In most sectors, yes, but a company that owns land must be at least 51% Cambodian-owned and some activities carry restrictions. See our guide on setting up a company for the detail and sources.

Who actually files the registration?

Licensed Cambodian professionals carry out regulated work. We scope and brief them, coordinate documents and track progress so you have one point of contact.
