List of Activities Allowing 100% Foreign Ownership in Bahrain (2025 Complete Guide)
Bahrain is one of the most investor-friendly countries in the GCC, offering a wide range of business activities with 100% foreign ownership rights. This means that international investors can establish companies in Bahrain without the need for a local Bahraini partner or sponsor — a huge advantage for global entrepreneurs.
In this guide, we provide the full 2025 list of activities allowing 100% ownership in Bahrain, as published by the Kingdom’s Ministry of Industry and Commerce (MOIC), along with sector highlights and insights.
Whether you are entering manufacturing, services, technology, logistics, healthcare, or finance, Bahrain offers a competitive environment for growth. And with Alvion Key Advisory, you can have your business registered quickly, without hassle.
Why 100% Foreign Ownership in Bahrain is a Game-Changer
Many GCC countries require foreign investors to partner with local nationals. Bahrain, however, allows full ownership in over 350+ activities, making it a prime hub for:
Global manufacturers setting up GCC distribution
Service companies expanding into the Middle East
Tech startups entering new markets
International investors seeking tax-friendly jurisdictions
