Mauritania is a Saharan and Sahelian economy with significant iron-ore mining (SNIM), fisheries, gold and copper, and an emerging offshore gas sector (the BirAllah and GTA fields shared with Senegal). Companies are registered through the APIM-operated Guichet Unique (Agence de Promotion des Investissements en Mauritanie), with the Registre du Commerce kept at the commercial-court greffe (Tribunal de Commerce de Nouakchott), applying an OHADA-comparable framework, and the DGI handles tax. Arabic, French, and increasingly English are used in business.

What our Mauritania company report includes

Our Mauritania reports draw on sources including the Mauritanian commercial register, the DGI tax authority, the Central Bank of Mauritania (BCM) for regulated entities, and accessible court records; fees may apply for certain records. Mauritania's Registre du Commerce is kept at the commercial-court greffe (Tribunal de Commerce de Nouakchott), and registration runs through the Guichet Unique operated by APIM rather than the Ministry of Trade. The information returned from any one source reflects what the company has filed and what is publicly accessible when the search is run. Arabic and French filings are translated into clear English.

Note on Mauritanian data: Mauritania's economy is concentrated in extractive sectors (iron-ore, gold, copper, fisheries) plus the emerging offshore gas sector. SNIM (Société Nationale Industrielle et Minière) is the dominant national mining company; major foreign counterparties typically operate in partnership with SNIM or under specific concession arrangements.

Why verify a Mauritanian company?

Mauritania's small, extraction-focused economy concentrates most overseas commercial interest on mining, fisheries and emerging gas-sector counterparties. The commercial register confirms incorporation; for sector-specific counterparties, mining-concession or fisheries-licence standing adds material context. The Mauritanian Ouguiya (MRU) was redenominated in 2018 from the old Ouguiya (MRO) at a 1:10 ratio.
