Company Registration
What does a company need before it can invoice in Iraq?
The requirements depend on where your company will operate, what it will sell and the registration route it uses. Company registration, tax procedures, bank onboarding and sector permissions need to be checked separately.
Start with the planned work and operating location
Tell us what your company will sell, where it will operate and which customers or contracts it expects to serve. We review the route against those plans and your existing company.
The review identifies the applicable steps and which are included in the engagement. The applicable checklist is confirmed for the proposed route.
Check representation and attendance before arranging documents
Some registration steps can be handled through an authorised representative. Other steps may require a director, manager or bank signatory to attend. We identify the requirements for the proposed application before you make travel arrangements or issue a power of attorney.
Agree the scope and handover
The proposal should identify the applications, supporting documents, responsibilities and handover included in the work. Tax procedures, bank onboarding and sector permissions have their own review processes.
Any continuing support with records or renewal dates is agreed separately so each responsibility is clear.
Review a branch or a new local company
A branch of an existing company and a new local company are broad routes to consider. The choice depends on the planned work, ownership, contracts and operating location.
Keybridge reviews those points before recommending a route. Your company approves the plan, and the relevant authority decides the application.
Confirm the dependencies before setting the schedule
Document readiness, translations, authentication and authority reviews affect the registration schedule. Banking and sector permissions can add separate steps.
We establish what the proposed application needs, identify the dependencies and agree a working schedule. Approval and account opening remain with the relevant authority or bank.
Company registration and vendor approval are separate
Company registration does not automatically place the company on a buyer’s supplier list. Check the target buyer’s route and required evidence separately.
