Egypt has a range of incentives to help business develop: schemes to help firms expand into new premises and to train and retrain employees. There are specialist accountancy firms that can point you in the right direction and advise you how best to take advantage of what is on offer.

As an emerging economy, Egypt is supported by grants from abroad that are designed to help businesses here. The World Bank is a significant investor in Egypt’s economy and Egyptian firms have received substantial loans to expand existing operations, restructure and to develop new products and plants.
