Do I need CR for starting a small online business?
4
Q: Hello.
Hope you’re all safe and sound.
So 2 of my friends and I are planning to start a small business here in Bahrain.
Nothing big but fancy, quirky and useful items through Instagram.
Do I need to have my own CR?
Since it’s a small business, can’t we do it without it?
Kindly advise.
Thank you.

What are the license options available for Bahraini nationals to start a home business?
0
Q: Hello,
We are working on home business for pastry and bakery items in Bahrain.
I'm a Bahraini national and checked for online CR but apparently the virtual ones are limited to specific fields that doesn't fall under our nature of business.
Are there other forms of home business approval setup?
I don't think we are ready now to scale up and have a CR with rented retail space.

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.

What are the legal requirements for a virtual CR to sell skincare products on social media? 0
Hello,
I'm interested in knowing what are the legal requirements for selling homemade natural skincare products online like Instagram, Facebook or Tiktok?
If it is run by one person (Bahraini), is virtual CR required for it?
Also, if I plan to make private label natural skincare products by using my brand name for selling online or in the market later, do I need to register my products for it & from where?
Apart from this, what would be the other legal requirements for it?
I'm also unfamiliar with going about these entire procedures & the costs needed for registeration, etc.
Please advise.
Thank you!
