Verifying ownership
We comply with the law, therefore, we will ask you to provide several documents for a company establishment
  • International Passport
    And all foreign IDs and Residence Permits
  • KYC & UBO Forms Signed
    Each investor must sign these forms required by the law
  • Corporate Set of Documents
    If the investor is a legal entity, we will conduct a professional review to determine the exact documents that must be provided
IMPORTANT: Please be aware that in Bahrain some parties may offer a false lease agreement together with a pre-signed termination letter. You must not sign or use such documents. Submitting fake or invalid papers for company registration constitutes a criminal offense under Bahraini law.
