Before you start an application, prepare:
- Five proposed company names — names must not conflict with existing registered names.
- A clear activity description — this determines licensing needs and which approvals may apply.
- Identification — national IDs for Egyptians, valid passports for foreigners.
- A registered address — a lease or ownership document for the company headquarters.
- Capital decision — how much starting capital and in what currency.
- Shareholder structure — who owns what percentage, and who will manage the company.
Having these ready shortens review time significantly.
