How do you establish a sole corporation with 1000 EGP?

Since 2018, theEgyptian governmenthas recently added a new form of money company; a limited liability company called a sole corporation.

A sole corporation is a company established by one person whose name is derived from his name.

The founder can be a person or a legal entity such as companies, and the founder cannot establish another sole corporation. Still, he can participate in companies of another type.

The founder may be an Egyptian or a foreigner, as long as the type of activity is general and not intended for Egyptians.

The capital of a sole corporation was a minimum of 50 thousand, but it has been modified these days to only one thousand pounds.

Steps for establishing a sole corporation

• Choose a distinctive trade name that has not been used before, in addition to the company’s logo.

• Company Address.

• The company’s capital.
• Type of activity.
• Members of the company’s board of directors or managers.
• The name and details of the private legal advisor.

• Pay the sole corporation fee.
• Complete the procedures, review the papers, and approve the activity.

To establish a sole corporation you need:

• A certificate of deposit for the company’s capital specified in the form.
• If there is an agent, a copy of the official power of attorney for incorporation.
• A copy of the valid identity card or the passport.

• Auditor’s document.

• Contract documentation fees.
• Certification fees from the lawyers’ syndicate.

Advantages and disadvantages of a sole corporation

Sole corporations have many advantages and disadvantages simultaneously; you should read them carefully before deciding to start establishing them.

• The sole corporation is the founder's permanent property, making it easier for him to increase or decrease the invested capital.
• Banks trust the company to grant loans.
• Independence from the founder, where the company's capital is entirely separate from the money of its founder.
• A separate commercial and legal identity expresses the company itself, not its founder.
• The possibility of trading shares and converting the sole corporation to another type.
• The possibility of reducing the taxes of a sole corporation by adding bonuses, rents, etc., to the deductible expenses.
• The rapid control of the company and the speed of decision-making.
• It has the advantage of dealing with major companies and international companies.

• A sole corporation burdens the founder compared to private limited companies.
• It is impossible to conduct business without the director's signature.
• The Tax Authority deals with the sole corporation the same as the private companies' law, and the founder is obligated to it alone, which makes the sole corporation tax large.
• Many prohibitions that the founder cannot do, such as:
• loaning with tradable securities.
• public subscription of the company.
• Division of the company into tradable shares.
• Performing banking, insurance, saving and other activities.
• Establishing another one-person company.
