Please note that the Formation of a Company in Bahrain requires the physical presence of the Shareholders and Directors. Whilst the Formation process can be initiated remotely, the physical visit will be required to conduct the formalities locally.
Banking for the company may be placed in any one of several overseas locations such as Bahrain, Belize, BVI, Dominica, Vanuatu, Cook Islands, St. Lucia, Puerto Rico, Seychelles or Mauritius. These banking options will afford you both confidentiality and ease of use. The banks we work with all offer excellent facilities, and you can choose from a free banking introduction or order the full processing of an application.
