Registration of company in Israel

Israel is the state located on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea. According to its political system, Israel is the Parliamentary Republic. The capital is the city of Jerusalem.

The country is inhabited by approximately 7 million people. The official languages in Israel are Hebrew and Arabic.

Currency is Israeli Shekel (NIS).

Israeli corporate legislation takes the common law system as a basis. It makes fast registration of the companies possible in Israel with a relatively small number of formalities. At the same time, the company may be engaged in any form of legal activity. Company in Israel is not an offshore company in the classical meaning of the word, but it can be effectively used in the trade and investment schemes. When the direct use of offshore is impossible, it is a company in Israel which may be the best solution for business owners.Business in Israel becomes increasingly popular.

The legal framework in Israel

The activity of commercial companies in Israel is regulated subject to the Law "On companies" (1999).

The forms of doing business in Israel

  • companies (associations);
  • branches and representative offices of foreign companies;
  • partnerships;
  • cooperatives;
  • noncommercial organizations.

In accordance with the legislation the companies are divided into two categories:

- public companies (joint stock companies);

- private companies (private companies limited by shares).

The most common organizational and legal form of Israeli companies is a limited liability company (LLC).

Why it is profitable to register or buy a company in Israel:

If the LLC becomes insolvent in Israel, only company assets are used to repay its debts.Employees of the company in Israel do not bear personal obligations, and liability of shareholders is limited to the amount of outstanding shares.It is also important that shareholders have more possibilities to control over the activity of the company.

LLC in Israel has the advantage of raising finance through the sale of issued shares to investors.The new shareholders and investors can easily assimilate. The relatively small tax is reduced year by year, and in 2016 it amounted to 18%.

The company continues to exist even in case of death, resignation or bankruptcy of board members and participants.

Cons of LLC in Israel.

Relatively high cost of establishing a company, and longer lasting registration, in comparison, for example, with a small business.

Higher level of:

- imposed penalties,

- duties,

- current expenses,

- control by the public authorities.

Private or public company.

The public company must publish an annual report, which includes financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors, in the form prescribed by law. This information is publicly available.

Private company should not be composed of more than 50 participants (shareholders).

Information concerning the activity and financial conditions of the company is not available to a wide range of people.

Branches/representative offices of foreign companies.

A foreign company that wants to register its branch, representative office, or subsidiary in Israel must be registered in the Register of Companies. It is necessary to provide a list of directors and the company's representative in Israel.

Partnerships.

Registration and activities of Israeli partnerships are controlled according to the Decree on partnerships. Contract acquiring the value of the Charter is at the core of the relationship between the partners.

Cooperatives.

This form of business in Israel is primarily used in agriculture and transport.

Noncommercial organizations.

Noncommercial enterprises are generally used by sports, charitable, educational and other types of organizations that do not aim to make a profit with the further distribution among members of association(as opposed to companies and partnerships). Pay attention that these enterprises may be engaged in economic activities.The only nuance is laid down in the fact that the incomes should be directed at the development of the statutory activity of the organization.
