BUSINESS REGISTRATION CONTEXT
Sijilat / Ministry of Industry and Commerce
Applicants identify the registration or licensing route most relevant to their business. Naming a public authority does not imply endorsement or partnership.
Administrative structure — 4 governorates
Bahrain is divided into four governorates: Capital, Muharraq, Northern and Southern. EQUORS uses them to organise applicant location data.
Open official source ↗Sijilat / Ministry of Industry and Commerce
Sijilat is Bahrain’s electronic commercial registration and licensing platform, connected with relevant government licensing systems.
Open official source ↗SMEs Registration System — Ministry of Industry and Commerce
The Ministry maintains Bahrain’s SME classification service. In 2026 it announced an update to classification criteria under Resolution No. (23) of 2026, so EQUORS does not present its application size choices as the official classification.
Open official source ↗Bahrain Chamber and the business ecosystem
The Bahrain Chamber of Commerce and Industry represents an important part of the private-sector ecosystem. Its inclusion here is contextual only and does not imply a partnership with EQUORS.
Open official source ↗Bahrain Economic Vision 2030 / National Digital Economy Strategy
Bahrain Economic Vision 2030 is guided by sustainability, competitiveness and fairness, while current national digital-economy work supports digital transformation and innovation. EQUORS remains an independent private-sector initiative.
