Bahrain is service-based economy, and the Government is keen to ensure that as the provider of many services to the public, it should be an exemplar in terms of the delivery of those services, and the use of the latest technology. The Ministry of Industry & Commerce, in particular as the main organ of Government responsible for the registration and supervision of businesses in Bahrain, perceives its role as providing value added services to its customers in the form of enhanced information and business processes.

The Ministry of Industry & Commerce is responsible for a diverse range of activities which make up the commercial environment in Bahrain, including inter alia the registration of all forms of commercial business, commercial agencies, industrial property, standards and meteorology, foreign trade as well as a number of other related activities. In general, the Ministry’s aim is to ensure the maintenance of an open, transparent and market driven commercial environment so as develop Bahrain’s economic competitiveness, and to encourage inward investment, at the same time promoting employment for the local population.

We sincerely hope that this web site, and in particular the Commercial Registration on-line system, will be a useful aid to businesses in Bahrain, and it is our intention to continuously enhance and expand the services offered through this medium.
