Establishing a business in Egypt presents a promising opportunity, but this process involves certain challenges, such as navigating complicated regulatory procedures, strict compliance with the requirements of competent authorities, and strategic planning. Hiring the right lawyer to guide you through the company registration process is crucial to ensure that you start your business activities smoothly and effectively, in compliance with the legal requirements.
Sadany & Partners Law Firm is one of the leading Egyptian law firms, providing business setup services and personalized legal support to fulfill the requirements and needs of local and international clients.
Why Choosing the Right Lawyer for Company Registration Matters
The Companies Law, the Investment Law, and several ministerial resolutions govern the business registration procedures in Egypt. Any omission or negligence, whether in preparing the documents, applications, or structural plans, may result in costly delays, penalties, or compliance-related problems in the future.

- draft and provide all the establishment documents,
- choose the proper legal form (LLC, JSC, branch office, etc.) suited to your company structure,
- comply with title, shareholding, and licensing requirements,
- register the company at the General Authority for Investment and Free Zones (GAFI) and other competent authorities in a timely manner, and
