Operate
The back office that keeps your Mozambican operation running
Registration is the easy part. Staying compliant month after month is where most foreign operations struggle — and where we plug the gaps.
Monthly compliance is relentless
VAT returns, withholding taxes, INSS social security, payroll, annual accounts and labour filings all run on fixed calendars. Missing them is expensive and, once you are behind, hard to unwind.
Vetted local providers
We work with accountants, lawyers, customs brokers, recruiters and translators we have used ourselves, and we stay accountable for delivery instead of handing you a phone number.
Scaled to your stage
A representative office with two staff needs something very different from a 200-person operation. Engagements are scoped to your headcount, turnover and risk profile.

Read moreMarketing & Digital
Reach Mozambican customers properly: Portuguese-first content, the platforms people actually use, and media that reaches beyond Maputo.
Read moreExpatriate Tax & IRPS
Where you pay tax on your salary depends on residence, not nationality. We establish your position before the first payslip, not after the first assessment.
Read moreExhibitions & Trade Fairs
Showing up at a Mozambican trade fair involves registration deadlines, customs for your samples, protocol rules and a language barrier. We handle all of it, so you arrive to a finished stand and a full diary of meetings.
Read moreEmployer of Record & Payroll Hosting
You have found the person before you have the company. An employer of record lets you hire compliantly now and migrate the team to your own entity when it is registered.
Read moreTrademark & IP Registration
Mozambique protects the first party to register, not the first to use. If your brand matters here, file before you launch.
Read moreFrequently asked questions
Do accounts have to be kept locally?
Yes. Mozambican entities must maintain accounting records in accordance with local standards, in Portuguese and in meticais, and file with the tax authority on schedule.
Can you act as our local representative?
We can coordinate a registered office, statutory correspondence and local liaison so your team is not dependent on being physically present.
