Good Day Expats,

My husband and I have an opportunity to start a business in Vanuatu with a local partner. We would like to make sure that everything is legal and properly registered.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

We are looking for a list of Authorities that we need to make sure we are registered with. For example, VIPA (Vanuatu Investment Promotion Authority) would need to be one of them.

Has anyone on this forum started a business and what was your experience?

We look forward to receiving some feedback.

Warmest regards from the Flee Family in South Africa

1. VIPA
2 Vanuatu Financial Services Commission
3 Municipality or Provincial Council for Business Licence
With 3 comes membership of Chamber of Commerce and Industry
4 Vanuatu National Provident Fund for employees
5 Dept of Labor & Industry to get Employment Regulations
6 VAT office if it looks like you will make more than 40M vatu in first year
Good Luck
