The requirements of establishing E-business in Bahrain

We're Sydney based startup and we have successfully designed an online and mobile market place app. The aim is to launch it in the Middle East region e.g. Bahrain, UAE, and Qatar.

Would you suggest to us how can we enter while our network is based here in Australia and we are online business?

Hello,

Great to hear that you are considering Bahrain to expand into.

With revamped E-transactions laws, data protection laws and great support being offered from the authorities, Bahrain is a great place for internet-based startups at the moment.

Depending on your intended activities to be conducted in Bahrain, it may be possible that some aspects of your business may be carried out in Bahrain without establishing a legal entity.

However, from past experiences, it is most probable that the full scope of your business would be best achieved only if an entity was established in Bahrain and a valid Commercial Registration (CR) was obtained.

A Limited Liability Company (WLL) or a Single Person Company (SPC) registered with the Ministry of Industry, Commerce & Tourism of Bahrain (MOIC) are the most commonly used legal entities.

This will allow the entity to carry out its businesses uninterrupted in the whole of Bahrain.

Trust this helps.

Best,

Hi,

Starting a business in Bahrain gives you access to almost all the Middle East with the advantage of having the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as the neighbor (biggest market in the region) which is connected via road.

After a detailed discussion, we could suggest to you the structure of the company which would be most suitable for you since the structure depends a lot on the business activity of the company.

I hope this helps in keeping your interest ticking.

For more detailed discussion, do not hesitate to reach me at help@khalidkhanblog.com.
