Frequently asked questions
Can foreigners own 100% of a Bahrain company?
Foreign-ownership permissions vary by activity. Bahrain’s Sijilat system provides activity-level information on ownership and licensing conditions, so the exact activity should be checked before setup.
What is Sijilat?
Sijilat is Bahrain’s official commercial-registration portal and business-information platform used to review activities, requirements and registration services.
Does Startex Global support post-setup growth?
Yes. Startex Global can support digital presence, SEO/AEO, marketing and lead-generation planning after the setup route is confirmed.
Important: Company formation, ownership, licensing, tax, immigration and sector rules can change. Final eligibility and filing requirements should be confirmed against the relevant official authority and, where needed, licensed legal/tax professionals before submission.
