TL;DR. Mali’s commercial registry is the RCCM (Registre du Commerce et du Credit Mobilier). https://rccm.ohada.org did not respond when last checked: the connection timed out and returned no page. The Chambre de Commerce et d’Industrie du Mali is the named chamber; it is not an RCCM search form. Confirm chamber access at source. Fees are therefore unknown rather than free; confirm at source. This page does not prescribe enhanced due diligence.
What is the official Mali business registry?
Mali’s commercial registry is the Registre du Commerce et du Credit Mobilier (RCCM), under OHADA’s Uniform Act Relating to General Commercial Law. Mali ratified the OHADA treaty in 1994. OHADA Uniform Acts are directly applicable in Mali.
The search host is https://rccm.ohada.org. It did not respond when last checked, timing out with no page returned, and no successor address is published; confirm at source.
The Chambre de Commerce et d’Industrie du Mali is named in Mali sources. Confirm current access at source. It is not an RCCM search form and is not a replacement for the register.
Entity types under OHADA Uniform Acts include SA, SARL, SNC, GIE, individual traders, and branches of foreign companies. How they appear in the RCCM search could not be confirmed; confirm at source.
What can you search?
No OHADA RCCM search screen could be reached, because https://rccm.ohada.org did not respond. Searching by corporate name, trade name, RCCM number or legal form is therefore not confirmed; confirm at source.
