When you need a legalised shareholding agreement in the DR Congo
A shareholders' agreement sets out the rights of investors and promoters. Authorities abroad, and foreign banks or joint venture partners, also ask for a certified shareholding pattern to see who owns the Indian company. Shareholders' agreements are executed by the company and its shareholders; the shareholding pattern or list is certified by a director or practising Company Secretary.
Registering a local entity, distributor or tender bid in Africa commonly requires legalised company documents from India.
Companies dealing with the DR Congo are most often asked for a legalised shareholding agreement during foreign subsidiary or branch registration, as well as for beneficial ownership checks by banks and joint venture approvals.
A shareholding 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 the DR Congo in New Delhi.
