What Does 100% Foreign Ownership Mean in Bahrain?

Under the Commercial Companies Law (amended 2025), foreign nationals can hold the full equity of a Bahrain WLL (With Limited Liability company) across 350+ ISIC-coded business activities — with no requirement to bring in a Bahraini sponsor or partner.

A handful of sectors require a Bahraini majority (construction: 51%) or a nominal Bahraini partner (domestic retail trading: 1 of 10,000 shares). Financial services require Central Bank of Bahrain (CBB) approval. Healthcare needs NHRA licensing. This checker gives you the answer for your specific scenario.
