What kind of clients do you work with? ▼
We work with foreign investors, entrepreneurs, businesses, developers, students, young professionals, and individuals seeking trusted support in Rwanda and beyond. Whether you are setting up a company, pursuing a construction project, seeking international opportunities, or sending a child abroad for studies, we are here to help.
Do you only work with international clients? ▼
No. We work with both local and international clients depending on the service needed. Our services are available to Rwandan entrepreneurs, diaspora clients, foreign investors, and anyone seeking professional consultancy support in or related to Rwanda.
Can I access your services online or remotely? ▼
Yes. Many of our services can be accessed fully online. You can contact us via WhatsApp, email, or this website from anywhere in the world. We handle documentation, follow-ups, and coordination remotely for international clients. Company registration in Rwanda can also be completed 100% online through the RDB portal, and we guide you through the entire process digitally.
How do I start working with ISHEMA BRIDGE CONSULTS? ▼
Simply reach out via WhatsApp at +250 786 090 420, send us an email, or fill in the contact form on this page. We offer a free initial consultation to understand your needs and recommend the best service pathway. There is no obligation and no upfront fee for the first conversation.
Can you help with both business registration and permits? ▼
Yes. Our services are connected, allowing us to support clients across multiple stages — from company registration and investment facilitation to construction permits, tax compliance, and operational setup — all through one coordinated consultancy relationship.
How long does it take to register a company in Rwanda? ▼
Business registration in Rwanda takes 1 working day. Through the RDB online portal, registration can be completed in as little as 6 to 24 hours — often the same day once all documents are in order. You receive your Certificate of Incorporation, TIN number, and Social Security (RSSB) registration in one seamless step. ISHEMA BRIDGE CONSULTS manages the entire company registration process on your behalf, ensuring accuracy and speed.
Can foreigners own a business in Rwanda? ▼
Yes — foreigners can own 100% of a company in Rwanda. No local partner is required. Rwanda allows full foreign ownership under its Companies Act. Foreign investors can register a company online through the RDB portal, obtain an Investment Certificate, and apply for an investor residence permit — all with support from ISHEMA BRIDGE CONSULTS.
What is EBM and does my business need it? ▼
EBM stands for Electronic Billing Machine — a device required by the Rwanda Revenue Authority (RRA) for all VAT-registered businesses. If your annual turnover exceeds RWF 20 million, you are required to register for VAT and use an EBM to issue receipts. We help businesses set up EBM compliance correctly to avoid penalties and audits.
Do you provide proposal writing support for tenders? ▼
Yes. We assist with both technical and financial proposal preparation, including executive summaries, methodology sections, CVs of key personnel, financial schedules, and related documentation for government tenders, NGO bids, and private consultancy assignments.
Do you offer support for Germany job opportunities? ▼
Yes. We provide comprehensive guidance for Rwandan professionals seeking to work in Germany — including credential recognition support, CV preparation in German format (Lebenslauf), German language training referrals, and visa application support for the Employment Visa, Recognition Partnership Visa, and the Opportunity Card (Chancenkarte). Germany requires 400,000+ skilled workers per year and we help you position your application correctly.
Can international students apply for your study abroad placement service? ▼
Yes. Our International Student Placement service supports Rwandan students who wish to study abroad in Africa, Asia, Europe, USA, or Canada. We cover university search, full and partial scholarship applications, visa processing, air ticket coordination, and include a FREE airport pickup at your destination country through our partner network.

Can I contact you for more than one service at the same time? ▼
Absolutely. Many of our clients need support across multiple connected services — for example, company registration combined with tax setup, permits, and proposal writing. We are structured to coordinate that process efficiently so you work with one trusted partner across your entire business journey.
Is there a guarantee on your International Student Placement service? ▼
Yes. We offer a legally notarized agreement with every student client. If we fail to deliver any of the agreed services — school placement, scholarship application, visa processing, air ticket support, or airport pickup — the client receives a full refund of all fees paid. This is a written, notarized contract, not just a promise.
Do you offer training programs for individuals and organizations? ▼
Yes. We offer structured training programs for entrepreneurs, SMEs, and organizations on topics including business management, financial literacy, compliance, proposal writing, and skills development. Training can be conducted in-person in Kigali or through online/virtual sessions for remote participants.
