From the ancient old city of Jerusalem to the beautiful beaches in tech hub Tel Aviv, Israel is a bustling country full of life and opportunities. With quite an impressive track record, world-leading investors and entrepreneurs have put the industry in the limelight calling to international interests and the attention of industry giants.<\/p>\n

Through intensive research and high-tech development, Israel has been recognized as a \u2018middle-eastern Silicon Valley<\/a>\u2019, being home to development centers for companies like IBM, Google, HP, Facebook, and other house-name multinationals. With high-technology concentration and a primarily knowledge-based economy, rapid development has been ushered in through quality education and a motivated populace. As a young country with great potential for business and commercial growth, Israel keeps open doors to business investments abroad and domestically.<\/p>\n

<\/iframe><\/p>\nAfter officially becoming an OECD country <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oecd.org\/israel\/israel-and-oecd.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in 2010<\/a>, Israel has invited numerous free trade agreements with the US, the EU, Turkey, Mexico, Egypt, and numerous others. The economy of Israel is highly advanced and developed despite its small size and population relative to its counterparts. According to the most recent report on the UN\u2019s Human Development Index, Israel ranked as being \u201cvery highly developed,\u201d granting a higher standard of living compared to other western countries. Keep reading and learn how Israel can help you take that next big step towards success.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Israel\u2019s government is a multi-party system based on a system of parliamentary democracy.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Israel is a free-market, welfare state providing many essential services to residents.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Israel has the 2nd<\/sup> largest number of startup companies in the world, after the United States.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\">2.\u00a0\u00a0 Business measures<\/h4>\nThe World Bank Group ranked Israel as one of the easiest countries to start and establish a business, compared across over 190 countries. Higher than the United States, France, Germany along with various other high-earning OECD countries making it an attractive destination for entrepreneurs or expanding businesses. In layman\u2019s terms, this refers to the procedures, time, and costs of establishing a business, where it is considerably more efficient, time resourceful, and affordable than many countries (see reference).<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/lawfirmbackup_200125.k1uagm.ap-southeast-2.wpstaqhosting.com\/en\/starting-a-business-in-israel-as-a-foreigner\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Starting a Business in Israel<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n<li>Procedures (number): 3<\/li>\n<li>Time (days): 11<\/li>\n<li>Cost (% of income per capita): 2.7<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[With few exceptions]<\/p>\nIn the ranking of protection for minority investors, Israel <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/real-estate\/opening-a-business-in-israel-what-you-need-to-know-563690\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ranks higher<\/a> than the United States, France, Germany, and the regional OECD average. Amongst the extent of conflict of interest regulation, Israel places great value in shareholders’ rights, director liability, the extent of disclosure, and corporate transparency in order to protect minority investors.<\/p>\nProtecting Minority Investors \u2013 Israel:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n<li>Extent of corporate transparency (0-7): 6<\/li>\n<li>Extent of shareholders rights (0-6): 4<\/li>\n<li>Extent of director liability (0-10): 9<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[With few exceptions]<\/p>\nPaying taxes in Israel is ranked to have a considerably higher measure of quality compared to countries like the United Kingdom, the United States, France, and Germany.

Boosted by free trade agreements with the EU and a similar agreement with the U.S., over half of its imports and exports are accounted for by these strategic agreements. Trading across borders in Israel is comparable to many western countries concerning border and documentary compliance. The time and costs associated with the components of border compliance and trade documents are fair and timely. Israel is constantly working on maximizing the efficiency of its trade and exchange with existing partners and the opportunity to form new relations.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-51885 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/lawfirmbackup_200125.k1uagm.ap-southeast-2.wpstaqhosting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/silhouette-confident-man-office-300x198.jpg\" alt=\"Doing business in Israel\" width=\"300\" height=\"198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lawfirmbackup_200125.k1uagm.ap-southeast-2.wpstaqhosting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/silhouette-confident-man-office-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lawfirmbackup_200125.k1uagm.ap-southeast-2.wpstaqhosting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/silhouette-confident-man-office-768x507.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lawfirmbackup_200125.k1uagm.ap-southeast-2.wpstaqhosting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/silhouette-confident-man-office-1024x677.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\nScore of starting a Business (0-100): 94.1<\/p>\nScore of protecting minority investors (0-100): 78<\/p>\nScore of paying taxes (0-100): 89.6<\/p>\nScore of trading across borders (0-100): 83.4<\/p>\nThe official languages of the country are Hebrew and Arabic, as well English being widely recognized and taught compulsorily in school. This serves to break down a major language barrier in the country, creating greater opportunities for language minorities and foreign investors. Corporate documents in Israel are also generally accepted by a company registrar. With many of the recent normalization agreements, this opens doors to cooperation in many sectors with countries in the region. We are amidst the generation of major change, with one common goal in mind, strengthening cooperation and building trust.<\/p>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\">3.\u00a0\u00a0 Business Procedures<\/h4>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n<li>Work Visa<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\u00a0In order to <a href=\"https:\/\/lawfirmbackup_200125.k1uagm.ap-southeast-2.wpstaqhosting.com\/en\/israeli-work-visa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">obtain a work visa<\/a>, approval must come from the Ministry of Interior in Israel after an invitation from an employer. It follows a process much like many western countries upon the procedures to obtain a work visa. Check whether you need to obtain a visa prior to visiting Israel.<\/p>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n<li>Establishing a Limited Liability Company<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThere are 3 processes in order to <a href=\"https:\/\/lawfirmbackup_200125.k1uagm.ap-southeast-2.wpstaqhosting.com\/en\/registration-foreign-company-israel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">register a business<\/a> as a company:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Form No.1 of the Company Registrar \u2013 application form to register a company.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Memorandum of Association \u2013 establishes corporate identity and objectives of the company, shareholders\u2019 responsibility, and shares issued.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Articles of Association \u2013 rules of conduct for the company.

Foreign partnerships are also permitted to do business in Israel.<\/p>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\">Purchasing property<\/h4>\nPurchasing or leasing a property is an essential starting point for growing business entities, but it is not quite a simple process. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.isratransfer.com\/post\/israel-real-estate-everything-to-buy-property-in-israel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Successfully\u00a0executing a real estate investment<\/a> requires industry knowledge from an experienced legal team with technical\u00a0capabilities that understand market forces, delivering innovative solutions to issues it anticipates. There are various online databases with a wealth of information available to the public, allowing one to view every real estate transaction done going back multiple decades.\u00a0There are many services one must consider aiding in the process such as soliciting an\u00a0appraiser, and in some cases, getting the advice of an engineer and\/or architect.\u00a0(Be aware that the customary commission rate charged by real estate agents in Israel is usually between 1-2%, about half (1%) paid by the buyer and about half by the seller.)<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-51872 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/lawfirmbackup_200125.k1uagm.ap-southeast-2.wpstaqhosting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/stockbroker-shirt-is-working-monitoring-room-with-display-screens-stock-exchange-trading-forex-finance-graphic-concept-businessmen-trading-stocks-online-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Doing business in Israel\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lawfirmbackup_200125.k1uagm.ap-southeast-2.wpstaqhosting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/stockbroker-shirt-is-working-monitoring-room-with-display-screens-stock-exchange-trading-forex-finance-graphic-concept-businessmen-trading-stocks-online-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lawfirmbackup_200125.k1uagm.ap-southeast-2.wpstaqhosting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/stockbroker-shirt-is-working-monitoring-room-with-display-screens-stock-exchange-trading-forex-finance-graphic-concept-businessmen-trading-stocks-online-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lawfirmbackup_200125.k1uagm.ap-southeast-2.wpstaqhosting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/stockbroker-shirt-is-working-monitoring-room-with-display-screens-stock-exchange-trading-forex-finance-graphic-concept-businessmen-trading-stocks-online-1024x684.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/israelinvestment.org\/investing-in-israeli-real-estate-i-an-introduction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">In Israel, State Property cannot be purchased, rather only leased<\/a>. Therefore, title to property is not registered in the name of the “purchaser\u201d. The “purchaser”, who must be an Israeli citizen or legal entity with a majority of Israeli ownership, or else a foreign citizen who would have the right to become Israeli, according to the Law of Return, is rather granted the right to enter into a long-term lease with the Israel Lands Administration (ILA).<\/p>\nPrivate ownerships are common in urban areas, but almost 90% of the land area today is owned by the state, the development authority, or the JNF (Jewish National Fund). Private persons still enjoy rights of their property even with eminent domain being used, as government must compensate fair value for the land. The land is often leased to private persons for a period of 99 years. Leases today are “capitalized”, i.e. the developer\/contractor pays the rent for the entire lease term in advance and the lessee is exempted from any annual payments. In practice, once the lease agreement is signed, the lessee has no further business with the Administration until the expiration of the lease, unless he wishes to make additions or modifications to the existing structures or to its usage. In such an event, the Administration’s approval, as the owner of the land, is required, and it may demand an additional rent in respect to the new usage.<\/p>\nUnlike in the U.S., where it is customary that the contractor provides the purchaser of a new condominium apartment with a title insurance policy, in Israel the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.israelinsurancelaw.com\/sale-apartments-assurance-of-investments-of-purchasers-of-apartments-law-1973\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sale (Apartments) (Assurance of Investments of Persons Acquiring Apartments) Law – 1974<\/a>, states 5 types of guarantees, at least one of which a contractor is required by law to provide the purchaser of an apartment, prior to receiving a sum exceeding 15% of the purchase price:<\/p>\n<ol dir=\"ltr\">\n<li>Bank Guarantee – money-back guarantee in the event that the contractor cannot transfer the property under the purchaser’s name.<\/li>\n<li>Insurance Policy – the contractor obtains insurance for repayment of amounts received from purchasers and names purchasers as payees in the policy.<\/li>\n<li>Lien – the contract registers a lien on the apartment (or on a relative portion of the land) as a first ranking pledge in favor of the purchaser. (Although this sort of guarantee is rarely provided by contractors.)<\/li>\n<li>Caution Note – registered at the local land registry and grants the purchaser preference over any later conflicting transactions or creditors of the contractor.<\/li>\n<li>Transfer of Title to the Property in the Purchaser’s Name at the Land Registry – contractors will rarely agree to the transfer title before receiving payment in full from the purchaser.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\">Mortgages<\/h4>\nOn the topic of mortgages, one seeking a loan must go to a mortgage bank to find out the conditions of pre-approval. Oftentimes, a lender will examine aspects of your financial picture, informing you of a maximum loan amount between 8-15 days. If you plan to fund an apartment purchase with a mortgage, the mortgage lender must have a representative branch in Israel. With many banks in Israel, the pre-approval stage can be done online. There are many types of mortgages on the market, and the pre-approval stage is generally when you will indicate which kind you prefer, and under what terms (can usually be changed later). Therefore, it is usually acceptable to complete this step immediately.<\/p>\nA foreign buyer may receive up to 50% in financing from a bank but borrowing money from a foreign bank against an asset in Israel is virtually impossible.<\/p>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\">Opening a bank account<\/h4>\nForeign citizens have the right to open an account in any Israeli bank; however, banks will require foreign nationals to show their connection to Israel or a valid visa to reside in Israel.\u00a0 Transferring funds to a local account from abroad may be challenging. An account holder must explain their relation to the account abroad to which a transfer was made. Sometimes, the owner of an account is a company, whereas the account holder in Israel is an individual. An alternative for a foreign resident that wishes to purchase property in Israel is to open a trust account. While being similar to opening a personal bank account (see section \u2013 Opening a Bank Account), a trustee will manage the account on behalf of the beneficiary, pay the seller directly, and explain to the bank the nature of the relationship to the source of transferred funds.<\/p>\nMany Israeli banks offer \u201cnon-resident accounts\u201d to people living abroad. Based on your eligibility upon bank criteria, you may be able to open an account. The number of days spent in Israel per year is an example of consideration, meaning the process may be more challenging when conducting business from abroad. If you\u2019re debating making your move to Israel permanent, it may be better to hold off and get a resident\u2019s account once you have resided.<\/p>\nTo open an Israeli resident\u2019s bank account, you do need to provide information about your residency in the country. Usually, it\u2019s obligatory to visit the bank in person\u2013 so it may be better to complete this once you\u2019ve arrived. The best call is to sit tight until you make the move.<\/p>\nAs aforementioned, a bank account <a href=\"https:\/\/lawfirmbackup_200125.k1uagm.ap-southeast-2.wpstaqhosting.com\/en\/israeli-company-bank\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">may be owned by a company<\/a>, and an account holder is an individual. The transfer of money from a company account to an individual\u2019s personal account may be explained as such:<\/p>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n<li>If the physical person in Israel is one of the founders of the company abroad, then the person will need to provide the bank the certified constituent documents of the company. \n\u2022 In the case the physical person in Israel is an employee or adviser of the foreign company and the amounts that are transferred are their salary or consultation fees, the bank may require a contract or other appropriate documents proving the authenticity of this relationship. \n\u2022 If the physical person has received credit from the foreign company, the bank will require a loan agreement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\">Challenges of today<\/h4>\nBeyond the growth and success of Israel\u2019s\u00a0economy, it is\u00a0important to consider some of the challenges Israel faces today. Corruption is a\u00a0legitimate problem in Israeli\u00a0politics and has surfaced through the investigation of bribery and\u00a0influence peddling. According to\u00a0the 2019 Corruption Perceptions index, Israel is the 35th least corrupt nation out of 180 <a href=\"https:\/\/tradingeconomics.com\/israel\/corruption-rank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">as reported by Transparency International<\/a>.<\/p>\nThe Corruption Perceptions Index ranks countries based on how corrupt their public\u00a0sector is perceived to be. Meanwhile, in the\u00a0Middle East, Israel ranks 3rd in the least corrupt behind the United Arab Emirates, 21st globally, and Qatar, 30th globally. While the public services sector is reported to have a moderate risk of\u00a0corruption\u00a0and low risk in the judiciary, corruption does not appear to be\u00a0institutionalized meaning businesses can operate and invest in Israel without interference from corrupt officials. While justice continues to battle ongoing corruption to protect honesty and integrity, the ineffective bureaucratic government is considered to be a source of the problem that threatens to undermine the rule of law and economic development.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-51860 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/lawfirmbackup_200125.k1uagm.ap-southeast-2.wpstaqhosting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/business-team-working-together-300x160.jpg\" alt=\"Doing business in Israel\" width=\"300\" height=\"160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lawfirmbackup_200125.k1uagm.ap-southeast-2.wpstaqhosting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/business-team-working-together-300x160.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lawfirmbackup_200125.k1uagm.ap-southeast-2.wpstaqhosting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/business-team-working-together-768x409.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lawfirmbackup_200125.k1uagm.ap-southeast-2.wpstaqhosting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/business-team-working-together-1024x545.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\">UAE\/ISRAEL<\/h4>\nGrowing ties of the Arab-Israeli relationship bring hopes of mutual prosperity that bear just over the horizon. In recent weeks, open progress has been made working to normalize relations with the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain through strategic bilateral agreements. This deal drives in a range of possibilities for <a href=\"https:\/\/lawfirmbackup_200125.k1uagm.ap-southeast-2.wpstaqhosting.com\/en\/business-in-the-uae\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trade and good business from these ambitious nations<\/a>. The UAE has just signed a mutual visa exemption agreement with Israel, allowing tourists to freely travel waiving visa requirements. We anticipate UAE expert workers will soon be able to apply for a B\/1 visa with a similar process as with other countries.<\/p>\nOur law office, a dynamic business law firm with high initiative, has jumped at the first chance of this initiative to partner up and create a more productive and inclusive function in the economy, <a href=\"https:\/\/lawfirmbackup_200125.k1uagm.ap-southeast-2.wpstaqhosting.com\/en\/uae-israel-lawyer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">therefore our firm teamed up with Emirati law firms and colleagues<\/a>. This deal aims at increasing the exchange of legal expertise and the facilitation of business attorney consultancy between the countries in order to provide clients with informative and relevant information.<\/p>\nThe world has seen the normalizing relationship between Israel and the UAE in the last few months, joined shortly after by Bahrain and Sudan, paving the way for the business formation to come from these efforts. This has sparked enthusiasm for various types of businesses from both markets, now looking to partner up and grow to take advantage of these market opportunities.<\/p>\nIn recent weeks, Israeli venture capital firm, Maniv Mobility, has made a seed investment of $3.8 million into a young Abu Dhabi start-up, Fenix, specializing in electric scooters and micro-mobility.\u00a0 This warming friendship between countries showcases the major opportunity for potential in the market, and more specifically growing niche markets like micro-mobility. Cofounded by former executives of Careem, Fenix plans to push its focus in regions of the Middle East, North Africa, and Turkey. Careem is a vehicle for hire company that was recently acquired by Uber for $3.1 billion in 2020. \u00a0Fenix looks to propel in the mobility sector across the UAE and then to the rest of the GCC, to become the first pan-GCC operator by 2022. This is just one example of the ways business and innovation have already intertwined between the markets.<\/p>\nThe doors are opening to a tremendous foundation of innovation and prosperity and we can\u2019t wait for you to become a part of it. Here at our office, we are so very excited about this collaboration and what the future holds, ultimately working together will facilitate growth and the quality exchange of communication, information, and technology.<\/p>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\">We are the business law firm you need<\/h4>\nHere at our office, you can find the business law lawyers with the expertise you need.
