Companies are governed by the Commercial Companies Law and registered through Invest Easy. The commercial registration must be renewed, its activities kept in line with what the business does, and changes to partners, managers or capital recorded. Activities on the negative list cannot be carried on by foreign-owned companies. Companies keep accounting records, prepare annual financial statements and register with the Tax Authority; regulated activities also need the relevant sector licence.
