FAQs

What types of companies can LexHub help me establish in Egypt?

LexHub assists clients in establishing all legally recognized corporate structures under Egyptian law, including limited liability companies, single-member companies, joint stock companies, general partnerships, limited partnerships, and sole proprietorships.
We also provide guidance on selecting the most suitable legal structure based on the nature of the business activity, capital requirements, number of shareholders, and investment objectives, in accordance with Companies Law No. 159 of 1981 and Investment Law No. 72 of 2017.

What is the usual timeframe for company formation in Egypt?

The timeframe for company formation in Egypt varies depending on the chosen legal structure and applicable regulatory requirements.
In most cases, establishing a limited liability company or a single-member company takes between 7 to 14 business days from the date of submitting complete documentation. Joint stock companies may require a longer period due to additional procedures, including shareholder coding with Misr for Central Clearing, Depository and Registry (MCDR).
LexHub manages the entire process and provides clients with regular progress updates at every stage.

What documents are required to establish a company in Egypt?

The required documents vary depending on the legal structure. However, the standard requirements typically include valid national ID cards or passports for all shareholders and managers, the proposed trade name, a description of the business activity, the registered office address, and the company’s Articles of Association.
In cases involving foreign shareholders, additional notarized and apostilled corporate documents may be required. LexHub handles the preparation and review of all required documentation and coordinates with the relevant authorities, including the General Authority for Investment and Free Zones (GAFI) and the Egyptian Tax Authority.

What are the investment routes for obtaining Egyptian citizenship?

Egyptian citizenship may be obtained through investment in accordance with the conditions set by the competent authorities. The main eligible routes typically include making a non-refundable deposit in foreign currency with the Central Bank of Egypt at a specified minimum threshold, purchasing real estate with a defined minimum value, or making a direct investment in a qualifying business project.
LexHub advises clients on the most suitable route based on their individual circumstances and manages the entire application process through to completion.
