Company Formation in Bahrain
6 Reasons Why You Should Choose Us
At Fahdan Business Solutions, we offer a comprehensive and streamlined process to help you establish your business in Bahrain. Here are the detailed steps involved in forming a company through our services:
The first step in forming a company is ensuring that all necessary documents are properly reviewed and approved by the relevant authorities. Our team at Fahdan will assist you in gathering the required documents, including:
- Passport copies of all shareholders.
- Proposed commercial names for the company, ensuring that they are unique and meet the Ministry of Industry, Commerce, and Tourism (MOICT) guidelines.
We will handle the submission and approval process with the MOICT to ensure that your chosen company name is accepted. This crucial step ensures that your business identity is both legally recognised and protected.
Once the preliminary approvals are obtained, all shareholders must go through the National Passports and Residence Affairs (NPRA) security clearance process. This is a mandatory requirement for foreign investors and local shareholders alike. Fahdan Business Solutions will guide you through this process by:
- Collecting the necessary documents, including passport copies of shareholders.
- Submitting the required information to the NPRA for clearance.
Security clearance ensures that all parties comply with Bahrain’s laws and regulations, enabling a smooth progression through the company formation process.
In Bahrain, every company is required to have a valid and verifiable commercial address. Fahdan Business Solutions offers full support in arranging a suitable commercial address that aligns with the legal requirements. Options include:
- Business Incubators: Ideal for startups and new ventures, offering flexible workspaces.
- Business Centers: For more established businesses looking for a professional setting.
- Shutter Shops or Physical Addresses: For retail or physical business operations.
Our team will ensure that your chosen address complies with both MOICT and Municipality regulations. If needed, we can provide options for renting spaces or using incubator services.
The Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a key legal document that outlines the structure and details of your company. It includes information such as:
- Names of shareholders.
- Distribution of shares.
- Initial capital.
- The nature of your business activities.
At Fahdan, we will facilitate the drafting of the MOA and work with notaries, either public or private, to ensure the document is legally notarised. This document is critical to your company’s legal existence and must be prepared and executed meticulously.
Once the MOA is notarised, the next step is to open a corporate bank account in Bahrain. Fahdan Business Solutions will assist you in selecting a suitable bank and help with the process of account creation. Here’s what you need to do:
- Deposit the share capital into the bank account.
- Obtain a Capital Deposit Certificate from the bank, which verifies the successful deposit of the company’s initial capital.
This certificate is a requirement for further regulatory approvals, and we will ensure that the process is handled efficiently with minimal delays.
After the bank account is opened and the Capital Deposit Certificate is received, we will submit the necessary documents, including the MOA, to the MOICT for final approval. Once all conditions are met, the ministry will issue the business license, allowing you to legally operate your company in Bahrain.
At Fahdan Business Solutions, we take pride in providing a seamless and efficient business setup process, ensuring that all legal requirements are met at every step. Whether you are a startup or a multinational corporation, we make company formation in Bahrain easy and stress-free.
