Dominican Republic business registration digitalization

Overview

The Dominican Republic has launched ‘Empresas en 24 Horas’ (E24H), a digital platform designed to accelerate the business formation process from weeks or months to just 24 hours. Presented by President Luis Abinader and Minister of Industry, Commerce, and MSMEs Eduardo ‘Yayo’ Sanz Lovatón, the initiative is part of a broader ‘Zero Bureaucracy’ program.

The single-window portal integrates three key government agencies: the National Office of Industrial Property (ONAPI) for name registration, the Chamber of Commerce and Production of Santo Domingo for the mercantile registry, and the Taxes Agency (DGII) for the national taxpayer registry. The platform utilizes a centralized application form, online payments, and automated validation tools to streamline the workflow.

This modernization follows the enactment of Law 30-26, which repealed the tax on company incorporation. These measures are intended to improve the investment climate, reduce administrative barriers, and support the ‘RD2036’ goal of doubling the national economy within a decade.
