Companies in the Democratic Republic of Congo are registered through the Guichet Unique de Création d'Entreprise (GUCE) — the one-stop shop for business creation — and recorded in the RCCM (Registre du Commerce et du Crédit Mobilier), the commercial registry maintained by the Tribunal de Commerce. Every registered company is assigned an IDNAT (Identification Nationale) number and RCCM registration reference. The OHADA (Organisation pour l'Harmonisation en Afrique du Droit des Affaires) commercial law framework governs company registration across the DRC and 16 other African member states.
The DRC enacted Law No. 20/017 relating to telecommunications and information and communication technologies, which includes provisions on personal data protection. The DRC is also a signatory to the African Union Convention on Cyber Security and Personal Data Protection (Malabo Convention). International providers like InfobelPRO operate under GDPR frameworks which meet or exceed DRC current requirements for data processing and cross-border transfers.
The DRC has an estimated 200,000–400,000 formally registered businesses, with the vast majority concentrated in Kinshasa (the capital) and major mining hubs such as Lubumbashi, Kolwezi, and Goma. The formal business sector is dominated by mining (cobalt, copper, coltan — the DRC holds over 70% of global cobalt reserves), telecommunications (Vodacom DRC, Airtel, Orange Congo), banking, construction, and agribusiness. A large informal economy exists alongside the formal sector.
Key B2B sectors in the DRC include mining and extractive industries (cobalt, copper, coltan, gold, diamonds — critical for global battery and technology supply chains), telecommunications (Vodacom DRC, Airtel, Orange Congo), banking and financial services (Rawbank, Equity Bank DRC, TMB, BIC), construction and infrastructure, agribusiness (palm oil, coffee, rubber), and energy (SNEL — Société Nationale d'Electricité, hydropower). Kinshasa is the commercial and financial hub; Lubumbashi and Kolwezi are the mining centres.
