When planning to enter the Egyptian market, choosing the right partner can determine your success. Consortio Law Firm stands out as a trusted advisor for foreign investors by offering more than just incorporation services. We provide a comprehensive market entry strategy, tailored legal frameworks, and full compliance support, ensuring that your company is not only established but also positioned for sustainable growth.

Market Entry Strategy First, Not Incorporation

At Consortio, we don’t rush clients into incorporation. Instead, we work with you to design the best market entry strategy. Depending on your objectives, we may recommend:

  • Joint Venture with a local partner.

  • Representative Office for market study.

  • Branch Office of your foreign company.

  • Franchise with an Egyptian entity.

  • Agency or Distribution Agreement for entry without full incorporation.

This approach ensures that your investment structure matches your business goals.

Business Model and Legal Framework

After identifying the strategy, we study your business model and map it against Egyptian laws and regulations. This determines:

  • Which government authorities oversee your activity.

  • Whether licenses are required before or after incorporation.

  • Any special conditions, such as minimum capital, Egyptian shareholder quotas, or specific legal forms.

We then provide a detailed compliance checklist covering both general corporate obligations and activity-specific licensing requirements.

Choosing the Right Legal Structure

We guide you through the differences between:

  • Representative Office vs. Branch Office

  • One-Person Company (OPC) vs. Limited Liability Company (LLC) vs. Joint Stock Company (SA)

  • Mainland Incorporation vs. Free Zone vs. Economic Zone

This ensures you select the structure that balances liability, taxation, and operational flexibility.

Step-by-Step Incorporation Support

Our process covers every step of company formation in Egypt:

  1. Document Collection Guidance – how to prepare and legalize documents correctly from the first attempt.

  2. Company Incorporation – drafting and notarizing Articles of Association, registration with the Commercial Registry.

  3. Tax Registration – obtaining the tax card and registration at the Egyptian Tax Authority.

  4. Publication – publishing the incorporation contract in the official Investment Gazette.
