OIPC
OIPC is an independent firm based in Windhoek.
We advise international businesses and investors entering Namibia, as well as Namibian businesses,
financial institutions, shareholders and private clients.
Our work covers transactions, investment structures, tax, corporate finance, actuarial matters,
valuations, financial modelling, commercial law, regulatory compliance and company administration.
Namibia market entry
OIPC assists international businesses and investors establishing, acquiring or investing in
businesses in Namibia.
The form of entry into Namibia affects ownership, control, tax, the movement of funds, regulatory
approvals and the obligations that continue after the investment has been made. We advise on these
matters before the structure is established or the transaction is signed.
Our work may include:
- assessing the proposed investment and the available forms of entry;
- advising on the ownership, company and funding structure;
- reviewing restrictions applicable to foreign investment;
- tax and exchange control advice;
- financial modelling and assessment of the proposed investment;
- due diligence on a Namibian company, business, asset or proposed local partner;
- acquisitions, joint ventures and shareholder arrangements;
- company or close corporation registration;
- licences, permits and regulatory approvals;
- tax and other statutory registrations;
- banking and investment documentation;
- employment, accounting and operational requirements, together with the appropriate local specialists
where needed; and
- ongoing tax, company secretarial and regulatory compliance.
OIPC can remain responsible for the Namibian legal entity and compliance work after the business has been
established.

About OIPC
OIPC is an independent professional firm based in Windhoek.
The firm's work combines Namibian tax, commercial law and regulatory experience with corporate finance,
actuarial analysis, valuations and financial modelling.
This range is particularly relevant to transactions and foreign investment. The tax, legal, regulatory
and financial work can be dealt with as part of the same instruction rather than being commissioned
separately from several firms.
OIPC acts for local and international businesses, investors, financial institutions, family-owned
businesses, shareholders and private clients.
The work undertaken depends on the instruction. A transaction may require due diligence, a valuation,
tax advice, exchange control approval and transaction documents. An international business entering
Namibia may require advice on its investment structure, company registration, licences and ongoing
compliance. A retirement or estate matter may require tax advice and actuarial projections.
Where foreign law or another specialist field is involved, OIPC works with an appropriate adviser in
that jurisdiction or field.
