Investor Service Center

The establishment of Investor Service Center (ISC) was an important step towards providing services to all investors as per the provisions of Investment Law No. 72 of 2017. The Law sets a specific period of time for the completion of licenses, automating services, applying electronic incorporation procedures, and the competent authorities' adherence to consider electronic signatures and accept electronic payment for all its payments, which are necessary steps to eliminate bureaucracy and improve the investment climate.

Relying on the success achieved by the idea of establishing ISCs and the General Authority for Investment and Free Zones (GAFI) tendency towards consolidating the idea of decentralization, and in light of putting the plan of geographical expansion into effect by establishing ISCs in all governorates to facilitate procedures to investors and enhance the investment environment in the governorates, 14 ISCs have been established and inaugurated in various governorates.

Article (21) of Investment Law No. 72 of 2017 reads as follow: "In order to simplify and streamline investment procedures, an administrative unit entitled "Investor Service Center" (the "ISC") shall hereby be created at GAFI and branches thereof. ISC shall provide the following services: (i) company incorporation; (ii) establishment of company branches; (iii) ratification of minutes of meeting of boards of directors and of general meetings; (iv) capital increase; (v) change of business activity; (vi) liquidation proceedings; and (vii) other matters in connection with companies. ISC shall, as per the regulating laws, include the Appropriate Bodies Representatives, who shall be under GAFI's supervision during their presence at ISC, and shall comply with the rules and controls laid down by GAFI BoD on the regulation of the work of ISC".
