Company Formation · Bahrain
Set up your company in Bahrain, correctly the first time.
SRR handles business setup in Bahrain end to end: choosing the right activity and structure, registering your Commercial Registration through Sijilat, and getting you ready to operate, with the same firm on hand for bookkeeping, VAT, and compliance afterwards.
What We Handle
Formation, and everything that comes right after it.
Setting up is only useful if the business can actually operate cleanly. We handle both: the registration, and the accounting, tax, and compliance groundwork underneath it.
- Entity structuring and activity (license) selection
- Commercial Registration (CR) application through Sijilat
- Memorandum and Articles of Association drafting
- Guidance on foreign ownership and shareholding structure
- Post-incorporation setup: bank account, VAT, and bookkeeping
- Ongoing compliance so the CR stays in good standing
How It Works
From first decision to a business that can trade.
-
Structure & license
We help you choose the right legal form and commercial activity for what you actually plan to do, and confirm the ownership structure that fits.
-
Register the company
We prepare and submit the Commercial Registration through Sijilat, along with the constitutional documents, and manage the approvals.
-
Set up to operate
Bank account guidance, VAT registration where needed, and your books set up cleanly, so you can start trading, not chasing paperwork.
-
Stay compliant
We keep your CR, filings, and records in good standing, and handle bookkeeping, payroll, and VAT on an ongoing basis if you want a single firm for all of it.
Common Questions
Setting up in Bahrain, answered.
How do I register a company in Bahrain?
A business is registered through Sijilat, Bahrain’s commercial registration portal, which issues your Commercial Registration (CR). We handle the process end to end: choosing the right activity and legal form, preparing the constitutional documents, and managing the approvals.
Can foreigners own 100% of a company in Bahrain?
Bahrain permits full foreign ownership across a wide range of commercial activities, though some sectors have specific conditions. We confirm the ownership structure available for your intended activity before you commit.
What do I need after the company is set up?
Typically a corporate bank account, VAT registration if you cross the threshold, and proper bookkeeping. We handle the post-incorporation setup and can run your accounting, payroll, and VAT on an ongoing basis.
Do you only help at setup, or on an ongoing basis?
Both. Many clients start with formation and stay with us for bookkeeping, payroll, VAT, and compliance, so there is one senior team accountable for the business end to end.
