How to Get a Registered Business Address in Egypt
Updated:
Short answer
Your company's registered address in Egypt has to be a real commercial address you are entitled to use, normally backed by a lease or an address-use agreement in the company's name. You do not need to rent a whole office for it: coworking spaces that offer an official business address let you put theirs on your commercial register, tax card and invoices. With Maktabi, your paperwork is guaranteed to be done.
What counts as a registered business address
It is a real commercial address your company has the right to use. It goes on your commercial register, tax card, invoices and official correspondence, which is why it needs paperwork behind it, not just a name on a door.
The paperwork you will be asked for
The core document is a lease or an address-use agreement for the address, in your company's name. Depending on the authority, your activity and your legal structure, copies of the property's own documents may be needed as well. Requirements differ, so confirm the exact list before you sign.
A whole office, or a coworking address?
You can register at an office you rent outright, or at a coworking space that offers an official business address. The coworking route costs a fraction of a full office and still gives you somewhere real to work:
- A registered company address for your commercial register, tax card and invoices
- A lease or address-use agreement, issued by the space
- A reception that receives your mail and parcels
- Meeting rooms by the hour, and desks in the same building
