The main cost drivers
These are the items that move the total up or down:
- Company structure (WLL, SPC, branch, representative office)
- Activity codes and whether a regulator approval is needed
- Office type: registered address, shared office or private premises
- Number of shareholders and whether any are foreign companies (document attestation)
- Investor and employee visas
- Add-ons such as bank account support, VAT registration and accounting
Official fees vs professional fees
Official items are paid to government bodies such as MOIC (via Sijilat), the municipality and the Chamber of Commerce. Professional fees cover preparing and filing your documents. A good provider lists both separately.
