Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a feasibility study before incorporation?

It is not a regulatory requirement for most activities, but it saves you costly decisions, and financiers and partners often ask for one.

Which legal form suits my business?

It depends on the number of partners, the capital, the nature of the activity, and your plans to expand and bring in investors. We recommend a form once we understand these factors, and explain the reasoning behind it.

When should I register for zakat and tax?

Zakat registration is linked to the entity’s registration, while VAT registration depends on the size and nature of your revenue. We determine what applies to you, and the deadlines, from the start.
