An individual must first obtain a Commercial Registration (CR) from the Ministry of Industry, Commerce, and Tourism (the MOICT) in order to legally conduct any business activity in the Kingdom of Bahrain. 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.
