Services

Investment and Business Licensing in Syria

We distinguish registration of the legal entity from permission to operate, because regulated projects may require a separate sector-specific route.

Last updated: 8 September 2026

Scope of service

  • Classify the activity and responsible authorities.
  • Sequence incorporation, preliminary approvals and operating licences.
  • Review premises, equipment and staffing conditions.
  • Build licensing conditions into the project plan.

What we deliver

  • A licence-and-authority matrix.
  • A document list for each principal approval.
  • A dependency timeline showing what precedes incorporation or operation.
  • Legal follow-through on applications and correspondence.

How we work

  1. Define the activity, parties and commercial objectives.
  2. Select the appropriate structure and regulatory route.
  3. Prepare documents and complete registration or approvals.
  4. Support post-completion governance and continuing compliance.

Legal points to manage

Leasing premises or buying equipment before confirming licensing feasibility can turn project costs into unrecoverable commitments.

Frequently asked questions

Does company registration permit immediate operation?

Not always. Certain activities require separate sector approvals or operating licences.

When should licensing start?

Timing differs: some approvals require an incorporated entity, while others should be tested before capital is committed.

Do requirements vary by location?

Central, local and premises requirements may overlap, so both project location must be reviewed with the activity.
