Bahrain Market Entry

The investment climate in the Kingdom of Bahrain is positive and relatively stable. Bahrain maintains a business-friendly attitude and liberal approach to attracting foreign investment and business. Government efforts focus on encouraging foreign direct investment (FDI) in the manufacturing, logistics, information and communications technology (ICT), financial services, and tourism sectors. Bahrain permits 100% foreign ownership of new industrial entities and the establishment of representative offices or branches of foreign companies without Bahraini sponsors or local partners. Sovereign offers company formation and management in Bahrain across all business areas and corporate structures, together with the administrative support to maximise opportunities and achieve long-term sustainability. We further offer PRO services to ensure that the company is kept in good standing and applicable licences and permits are renewed.

Sovereign’s Private Client services assist families and entrepreneurs around the world to structure their assets to support personal, family, commercial and charitable interests. Sovereign has the depth of technical expertise to identify and create the optimum solution for our clients’ needs, whether that be asset protection, estate or succession planning.
