Verified guides for starting and running a business in Kurdistan.
Company registration generally goes through the Kurdistan Board of Investment or the relevant Registrar of Companies, depending on the business type and ownership structure.
A trade name is registered separately from your company registration, usually at the same registrar's office, to protect your business name from being used by others.
Opening a restaurant needs business registration, a municipal license, and a health/food-safety approval, roughly in that order.
Most storefront and food/service businesses need a municipal license in addition to company registration — apply at your local municipality office.
