How to set up an LLC in Israel

A limited liability company in Israel is a preferred entity by investors both local or from abroad who want to develop the activities in the country. In this matter, the following documents need to be considered when registering a company in Israel:

  • the application form found at the Registrar of Companies;
  • Articles of Asociation;
  • declarations of the shareholders and first directors;
  • the IDs of the proprietors;
  • the address of the business;
  • the registration fee paid to the Registrar.

Once these documents have been accepted by the Registrar or Companies in Israel, the business owner will receive the identification number of the company. The next step after incorporation is to apply for social contributions and taxes, matters where you can also receive support from our team.
