Business agreement for Ethiopia: what and why
Sale and supply contracts, service agreements, joint venture agreements and MoUs signed in India often need legal effect abroad, for tenders, bank financing, registrations or court proceedings. Business agreements such as sale, supply, service, joint venture or MoU documents are executed by your company's authorised signatory.
Registering a local entity, distributor or tender bid in Africa commonly requires legalised company documents from India.
Companies dealing with Ethiopia are most often asked for a legalised business agreement during tenders and supplier registration, as well as for joint venture or project registration and bank financing and dispute resolution.
A business agreement issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the Embassy of Ethiopia in New Delhi.
