4 Steps to Launch a Business in Bahrain
- 1
Security Clearance & Provisional License
Submission of company incorporation documents to the Ministry of Industry & Commerce (MOICT). The Nationality, Passports & Residence Affairs (NPRA) conducts due-diligence checks for all shareholders. Upon approval, MOICT issues a Temporary Commercial License confirming the company name and activities.
- 2
Government & Sector Approvals
Approvals obtained from relevant regulatory authorities based on the business activity — including Municipality, EWA, and other industry-specific bodies. All compliance requirements are verified to proceed to full licensing.
- 3
Articles Notarization & Bank Account Opening
The Articles of Association are notarized and a corporate bank account is opened for capital deposit. Once the capital deposit certificate is issued by the bank, final documentation is submitted for issuance of the Active Commercial License by MOICT.
- 4
LMRA Registration & Investor Visas
Company registration is completed with the Labor Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA), enabling the issuance of Investor Visas for shareholders and opening eligibility for employee visas. The company is now fully compliant and operational in Bahrain.
