Business Organizations > Egyptian Companies

Investors establish or acquire Egyptian companies. The types of Egyptian corporate entities most commonly used by investors are Joint Stock Companies and Limited Liabilities Companies.

An investor incorporate an Egyptian Joint Stock Company or a Limited Liability Company either under the Investment Guarantees and Incentives Law, (the "Investment Law") or the Companies Law.

Investors tend to prefer to incorporate Egyptian companies under the Investment Law to benefit from the privileges available under it (see below). There are no minimum Egyptian capital participation requirements.
