We are planning on going live in Bahrain by August. The owners are Emiratis and Bahraini, what is the best way to start in terms of CR and office or virtual office?

One of the requirements for obtaining a CR is a registered office or place of business, which brings up the question of whether there are any other options available for those who want to start their business from home or without a physical office space.
