The cost of forming a company in Egypt is made up of several parts, and it helps to see them separately. Helmy Law quotes a fixed professional fee after a short call, so there are no hourly surprises.
What the cost is made of
- Professional fee: our fixed fee for structuring, drafting and carrying the incorporation through to registration, agreed in a written proposal.
- Government charges: the official registration and related fees payable to the authorities. They depend on the structure and on the company’s capital, and are shown separately in our proposal.
- Third-party costs: notarization, legalization and translation of documents, couriers and similar items. They depend mainly on where your documents are signed and how many are needed.
- Share capital: not a fee. It is deposited into the company’s account and belongs to the company.
What affects the timeline
- The type of entity and whether the activity needs a sector approval
- Whether the shareholders are individuals or companies, and where they are located
- How quickly foreign documents are signed, legalized and translated
- The completeness of the information and documents you send us
- The capital deposit and the processing time of the authorities
The biggest delays usually come from foreign documents and missing information, which is why we start with a clear checklist. We give an indicative timeline in the written proposal once we know your structure.
