Register a Corporation in Israel

There is no restriction placed on an overseas resident who wants to set up a corporation in Israel. No minimum capital has to be proven for an overseas resident to obtain approval to register a corporation in Israel or to open a bank account in Israel.

However, if one of the shareholders is a foreign company, it will be easier to register the Israeli new company without this corporate shareholder, and as soon as the new company is registered, there is no difficulty to transfer its shares to it. Read more about Corporate Foreign shareholder.

If the sole shareholder is a foreign corporation, or if all the shareholders are foreign corporations, the new company will be registered by our law firm with a nominee shareholder and after the Israeli corporation is registered, we will transfer the shares to the foreign beneficiary shareholder corporation.

The minimum number of shareholders:

for a private company the minimum is one, and the maximum is 50.

The minimum number of directors:

One director.

 Procedures

Setting up a corporation in Israel through a lawyer takes a few days and includes the following stages:
