Notes to the legal Form 

 

Limited Liability Companies, which are known in Bahrain as WLLs (“With Limited Liability”), are the most commonly used corporate entities in Bahrain. They are the equivalent of French SARLs, German GmbHs or private companies in the United Kingdom. The WLL is the most common form of company where 100 percent foreign ownership is permitted.

 

Under the Bahraini Commercial Companies Law a WLL may be formed by a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 50 natural or legal persons, whose liability is limited to their shares in the company’s capital. The minimum amount of paid-up capital required is BD 10,000. Contributions to capital may be made in cash of kind. With a normal renewable term of 25 years, equal shares must amount to at least BD 50 each. Public shares are not permitted nor is the negotiation of warrants. WLLs cannot conduct saving, banking or investment operations on behalf of others.
