FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to what our clients ask most.

What are your practice areas?
We specialise in company formation, investment and commercial law in Egypt — from setting up companies and branches of foreign companies and licensing before the investment authority, to contract drafting and corporate governance. We also serve individuals with residency, work permits and asylum matters.
How can a foreign investor set up a company in Egypt?
We handle the whole process for you — choosing the right legal form, preparing the articles of incorporation, registering with the commercial register and GAFI (the investment authority), and obtaining licences. Egyptian law allows foreigners full ownership of the company in most activities.
What incentives does Investment Law 72/2017 offer?
The law provides tax and customs incentives, guarantees against nationalisation, asset seizure and account freezing, free-zone and investment-zone regimes, and facilitated investor residency — we identify the regime that best fits your activity during the consultation.
How long does company formation take?
A limited liability company is often completed within a few business days once the documents are ready; the timeline varies by company type and activity — we give you an accurate expected schedule in the consultation.
Do you help with residency and work permits?
Yes. We help investors, foreigners and individuals with residency and work permits, family reunification and asylum matters, following the procedures through to securing full rights.
