In a significant move to boost investment climate efficiency and promote digital transformation, the Egyptian Cabinet has announced the launch of a unified online platform for establishing limited liability companies (LLCs), marking a key milestone in the country’s investment reform agenda.
Starting Sunday, August 3, 2025, all applications to establish LLCs in Egypt must be submitted exclusively through the General Authority for Investment and Free Zones (GAFI)’s official online portal:

The measure aligns with the directives issued by the Supreme Council for Investment and reflects Egypt’s strategic push toward a digitized business environment. The reform is designed to simplify incorporation procedures, reduce bureaucracy, and increase transparency and accessibility for both domestic and international investors.
Key Requirements for Online Company Formation
Under the new system, investors must meet the following criteria to complete the company formation process:
- Possession of a valid electronic signature token (e-signature)
- Use of digital notarized powers of attorney
- Submission of all incorporation documents exclusively online via GAFI’s portal
The initiative is part of a broader national effort to modernize public services, streamline regulatory frameworks, and position Egypt as a regional hub for innovation and private sector growth.
Driving Economic Competitiveness
Officials say the reform is expected to significantly cut processing times and enhance Egypt’s ranking in global ease-of-doing-business indices. By removing manual paperwork and decentralizing access to business services, the government aims to attract a new wave of entrepreneurial ventures and foreign direct investment (FDI).
