It recalls the origins, missions and usefulness of these two registers and places them in their core role of improving the business climate within the OHADA Member States.

This management guide combines the understanding and mastery of the methods to use the RCCM and RSCOOP registries’ system. It describes in a practical manner the procedures and organizes, with assurance and method, the registration, declaration and entry formalities. Put in perspective with the computerization of the registers, it highlights the interconnection between the RCCM and SCOOP registers. It considers the pyramidal organization that characterizes them and the particular management of information relating to security interests.

With its practical approach based on the RCCM and the RSCOOP legal and administrative framework, it is a management tool for these registers as well as a tool to handle disputes pertaining to them.

People practicing the management of the RCCM’s registers whose experience has greatly contributed to the improvement of the current system wrote it. It is also a capacity-building tool for the entities in charge of the registers’ keeping, a support to evaluate the management system of the RCCM and the RSCOOP, as well as a means to guide users, in particular economic operators and entrepreneurs.
