Setting up the business
Companies are typically established through the General Authority for Investment and Free Zones (GAFI). Check licensing for your activity and compound management approval. This is general information, not legal advice; confirm requirements with the relevant authority.
Taking payments
Stripe can be connected where it supports your business country; check current availability. Where it does not, ask us about connecting a local payment provider through the API.
