What our São Tomé and Príncipe company report includes
Our São Tomé and Príncipe reports draw on sources including the Conservatória dos Registos, the Direcção dos Impostos, the Banco Central de São Tomé e Príncipe for regulated entities, and accessible court records; fees may apply for certain records. Company incorporation in São Tomé and Príncipe now runs through the Guiché Único para Empresas (GUE) one-stop, a department of the Ministry of Justice created in 2010, which feeds the commercial register.

Why verify a São Toméan company?
São Tomé and Príncipe's small, cocoa-and-tourism-based economy concentrates most overseas commercial interest on cocoa exporters, tourism operators and limited services. The Conservatória dos Registos confirms incorporation; the euro-pegged currency provides financial-trend stability. Portuguese parent company relationships are common in larger counterparties.
