We help non-Egyptian founders and cross-border teams establish a compliant presence in Egypt with minimal friction. Whether your goal is market entry, production, or a regulated activity, we select the right vehicle, align documentation to authority formats, and coordinate filings end-to-end under Egyptian procedure.
Services are delivered locally through the lawyers the company cooperates with in Egypt and supported by certified translators in Cairo. Our company operates exclusively under Egyptian law and does not provide legal services under UK law. We take full responsibility for fulfilling all agreed obligations to clients.
We assess footprint, risk, financing, and hiring plans, then recommend a vehicle that balances compliance with operational flexibility:
Flexible governance and straightforward management; suitable for trading, services, and light manufacturing. Foreign ownership generally possible subject to activity-specific rules.
Best for scale, multiple investors, or where share options/future capital markets activity are envisaged; more formal governance and reporting.
Extension of a foreign company for defined activities/projects in Egypt; no separate legal personality—liability and reporting sit with the parent.
Non-commercial presence for research and feasibility; no local revenue but useful for early market exploration.
We provide a side-by-side recommendation (purpose, ownership, governance touchpoints, typical compliance) so you can decide with confidence.
We prepare bilingual drafts, organise notarisation/legalisation where needed, and ensure filings meet authority formats. Typical items include:
Foreign documents usually require legalisation/apostille and Arabic translation for official use. We review authenticity and layout to avoid adjournments.
We structure ownership and management to match your risk and control objectives: shareholder agreements, manager/board mandates, reserved matters, and signing authority matrices. We also prepare meeting templates and minute books aligned with Egyptian practice for smooth banking, leasing, and vendor onboarding.
We compare zone and mainland options against your revenue model, import/export flows, and hiring plans. Some activities require pre-approvals or licences; we map routes and timing so you can choose the most efficient setup while remaining compliant.
Share a short brief and scans → we confirm jurisdiction, structure, and eligibility → you receive a written plan with steps, timeline, and fees. Once approved, we issue onboarding papers and—if you are abroad—prepare a bilingual Power of Attorney and guide notarisation/legalisation so the lawyers the company cooperates with in Egypt can file and attend on your behalf. We coordinate certified Arabic translations, manage filings, and keep you updated in English (or Arabic) at key milestones. After incorporation, we deliver certified copies and—where needed—consular legalisation or apostille with tracked courier.
We remain available for amendments, additional licences, and growth-driven restructuring as your Egypt operation scales.
Exact timing depends on your activity, approvals, and document readiness. You receive written updates at each milestone.
Foreign ownership is commonly permitted; specific activities may have additional rules or approvals. We assess your activity and advise the suitable route.
