Once you’ve decided to expand to Kuwait, the next step is to begin preparations for establishing a subsidiary in the country. However, learning how to set up your Kuwait subsidiary can take months, then it can take up to a year to incorporate fully. 這一切都是為了設定您的薪資單、雇用員工，以及發放薪酬和福利。
G-P offers an alternative to make your expansion easier and faster. When you partner with a global Employer of Record (EOR) like us, you can begin hiring in minutes, without setting up new entities.
How to set up a Kuwait subsidiary
有許多不同的因素會影響科威特子公司的設立方式。 例如，不同地區和城市都有自己的科威特子公司法律，這將影響您的合併方式。 如果您不熟悉該國的不同地區，可以與律師、會計師或顧問合作，他們能為您推薦最適合您的公司的地點。
Another important factor is the type of subsidiary. 您可以合併為數個不同的實體，包括有限責任公司 （LLC）、股權公司、合夥企業或分支機構。 每個選項都有不同的科威特子公司法律，並限制您在該國的活動程度。 許多公司選擇合併為 LLC，因為他們提供最大的經營自由。 分行是實體中限制最嚴格的類型。
Setting up your Kuwait subsidiary as an LLC involves the following steps:
- Registering at the Department of Companies of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MOCI).
- Reserving a unique company name.
- Retrieving the letter addressed to the bank from the Department of Companies.
- Depositing your capital at the bank.
- Getting an inspection of your company offices by the correct municipality.
- Obtaining approval of your memorandum of association from the Department of Companies.
- Notarizing the memorandum of association before a public notary.
- Registering with the Commercial Registry.
- Getting a commercial license from the Department of Companies.
- Registering with the Kuwait Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
- Registering with the Public Authority for Civil Information (PACI).
- Registering at the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs.
Kuwait subsidiary laws
雖然 LLC 是最有吸引力的子公司選擇，但您仍然需要遵守一些法律才能保持合規。 LLC 的所有權必須由當地股東的 51% 組成，除非其位於自由區或經科威特投資局批准。 使用 51% 當地股東所有權的 LLC 必須支付 15% 的年度企業稅率。 自由貿易區公司完全免除企業稅。
The complex business requirements in Kuwait often demand flexibility and patience to navigate complicated policies that are sometimes contradictory.
Benefits of setting up a Kuwait subsidiary
儘管學習科威特的子公司法律以及如何設立實體面臨著挑戰，但在該國工作仍然有好處。 After you incorporate, you can hire employees, form relationships with other businesses, and reach a new consumer base. By choosing an LLC, your parent company won’t have to worry about any litigation or problems with the subsidiary, and the subsidiary will operate somewhat independently.
That said, there are more benefits to working with a global EOR such as G-P. We act as the Employer of Record and manage compliance, so you don’t have to. Plus, we’ll help you start working in minutes, not months, which means your company can make a big impact in Kuwait right away.
其他重要考量
如果您準備在新的國家/地區加入，您需要為所涉及的時間和財務承諾做好準備。 完成科威特子公司設定流程可能需要幾個月甚至一年的時間，因此您應該在行程表中留出時間進行整合。 We also recommend working with your accounting department to make sure you have the money to complete the process.
