Important update on company types
Under amendments to Bahrain's Commercial Companies Law (Legislative Decree No. 21 of 2001, as amended by Legislative Decree No. 28 of 2020), the separate "Single Person Company (SPC)" form was repealed and merged into the "With Limited Liability (WLL)" company. A WLL may now be owned by one or more shareholders, and companies that were formerly registered as "SPC" have been updated by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce so their commercial name ends in "WLL".
The most common structures today include the With Limited Liability Company (WLL), Bahrain Shareholding Company (BSC – public or closed), General and Limited Partnerships, and branches of foreign companies. The right structure depends on your activity, ownership, and goals - we advise you on the best fit before registration.
