Recent Legislative Changes
We have learned through internal administrative channels at Syria's Ministry of Internal Trade and Consumer Protection that staff have been instructed to suspend registration of new Limited Liability Companies (LLCs). This suspension affects:
Single-member LLCs
Foreign-owned LLCs
Professional office LLCs
While this is an internal administrative instruction rather than a formal directive, it significantly impacts the corporate registration landscape in Syria. Notably, branch office registration remains operational.
Strategic Opportunity
This presents a critical window for businesses considering Syrian market entry. Branch offices continue to be registered under current regulations and requirements.
Why Act Now
Current registration process remains straightforward
Established clear capital requirements (10M SYP minimum)
Well-defined documentation framework
Existing regulatory clarity
Looking Ahead
While we cannot predict future regulatory changes, establishing a branch office now ensures:
Market presence under current regulations
Operational readiness
Protected entry rights
Next Steps
We strongly advise interested businesses to initiate branch office registration promptly while this avenue remains available.
