Starting up is easy

If you are thinking about establishing a business or have an idea you would like to discuss, the Ministry of Investment can help you and point you in the right direction.

We can offer you advice and put you in touch with experts and people with quality information to help you and see if your idea qualifies for  some financial support.

You can go to a One Stop Shop in Egypt to start setting up your business. The procedures will only take a few days, possibly as little as 72 hours.

The General Authority for Investment and Free Zones (GAFI) assists people in a variety of ways and acts on their behalf with related government agencies to provide:

• All licenses required for the establishment and operation of a project are procured by GAFI on behalf of the person starting a business e.g notarization of related deeds, issuance of residence permit and work permits.
• GAFI assists in site selection and land acquisition – whether for agricultural, industrial or tourist activities.
• GAFI certifies the dates of production commencement and helps you to take full advantage of the tax holiday granted according to location.
