What affects the government fees?

Our fees are fixed and clear from the start. Government fees, however, vary from case to case based on several factors, and we give you a full breakdown of the expected fees before work begins.

Type of commercial activity

Fees vary by the nature of the activity — commercial, service, industrial, or logistics.

Legal form of the company

Limited liability company, one-person company, or foreign company branch — each form has its own fees.

Registered capital

Some fees are tied to the value of the approved capital.

Additional approvals and licenses

If the activity requires sector approvals such as public health, public safety, or environmental approval, those approvals carry their own separate fees.

Number of partners and shareholders

The ownership structure may affect some administrative fees.

We send you a full breakdown of the expected government fees for your case after the initial review of your activity.

Common activities we help establish

We work with a wide range of commercial activities. Below are some of the most common, noting that each case's eligibility for registration depends on the details of the activity and the approvals required.

Import and export

Forming companies that import and export goods to and from the Aqaba Special Economic Zone.

We review the nature of the goods and the approvals required before starting.

General trading

General trading and distribution companies inside and outside the economic zone.

We determine with you the products covered and any potential restrictions.

Services and consulting

Service companies of all kinds, from management consulting to professional services.

We review whether the service activity needs an additional professional license.

Logistics services

Shipping, storage, and logistics companies tied to the movement of goods in the zone.

We review warehouse and logistics-licensing requirements based on the type of service.

Foreign company branch

Registering branches of foreign companies wishing to operate in the Aqaba Special Economic Zone.

Branch registration requirements differ from forming a new company — we clarify the right path for your case.

We explain from the outset what applies to your activity so you don't start with incomplete procedures.
