Will you have partners?
The question that confuses most people, in plain language.
| Individual establishment | LLC | |
|---|---|---|
| Ownership | One person | One or more partners |
| Your personal liability | Unlimited. You and the business are one entity, and your personal assets cover its debts | Limited, usually to your share of the capital |
| Minimum capital | No comparable requirement | No large general minimum (from 1 JOD), though some objectives have their own. The capital stays in the company; it isn't a fee |
| Where to register | Ministry of Industry, Trade and Supply (trade names registry) | Companies Control Department |
| Tax | You and the business are one: profits are added to your personal income and taxed at individual rates (from 5%, rising with income) | Separate from you: the company pays tax on its own profits (20% for most activities) and files its own return |
| Switching later | Possible, but you usually register a new company and move the business into it | — |
| Cost and paperwork | Lower and quicker | Higher, with more documents |
| Yearly upkeep | Simpler | Audited accounts and more formal requirements |
| Credibility | Fine for small businesses | Higher with companies, banks and investors |
| Adding partners | Not possible without changing the legal form | Easy |
| Best for | Small, one-person, low-risk businesses | Growth, partners, contracts and higher risk |
An estimate of first-year costs in Amman. Change the capital to see how the fees change.
| Item | Cost | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Companies Control registration fees0.2% of capital (minimum 250 JOD) + 0.3% stamp duty + publication, filings and certificate (45 JOD) | 298 JOD | Official |
| Amman Chamber of Commerce membership (yearly)Depends on your capital bracket, plus a one-off joining fee | 20 JOD | Official |
| Shared office: yearly lease + vocational licenseThe office gets the license issued for the same price. Tip: license the cheapest activity among the objectives you actually carry out | 400–600 JOD | From experience |
| Domain + business email (yearly)e.g. Google Workspace for one user | 50–100 JOD | Estimate |
Not included: the accountant and yearly auditor, and a lawyer's fees if you use one (registering online makes that unnecessary). Official fees are from the Jordan e-government portal and the Amman Chamber of Commerce; registration fees match a real registration. November 2026.

Short answers to the most common questions, based on official sources and a real registration.
For 1,000 JOD of capital, Companies Control Department fees come to about 298 JOD (0.2% of capital with a 250 JOD minimum, 0.3% stamp duty, and 45 JOD for publication, filings and the certificate). Add Amman Chamber of Commerce membership (20 JOD a year for capital under 5,000 JOD) and a shared office providing a lease and vocational license for about 400–600 JOD a year. The first year totals roughly 770–1,020 JOD, plus the capital, which stays in the company.
In an individual establishment, you and the business are one: your liability is unlimited, profits are added to your personal income and taxed at individual rates (from 5%), and you register in the trade names registry at the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Supply. An LLC is a separate entity: your liability is usually limited to your share of the capital, the company pays tax on its profits (20% for most activities), you register with the Companies Control Department, and adding partners is easy.
There's no large general minimum: the LLC capital regulation (No. 17 of 2011) allows capital from 1 JOD, though some objectives have their own minimum. Capital isn't a fee; it stays in the company, and you must deposit it in full and prove it by the deadline the department sets.
The company is moved to the register of suspended companies under Article 285 of the Companies Law, and the manager loses their powers until the suspension is lifted. In a real case this happened two months after registration. The fix: deposit the capital, get a bank letter, and upload it through «Services for existing companies» in the department's e-services.
Yes. You create an account on the Companies Control Department portal, then submit and track the application online. Once approved, all partners visit the department to sign, and the registration certificate is issued then.
The name must be Arabic and meaningful, and include one of the company's objectives word for word (e.g. «مدار للاستشارات الإدارية»). The application asks for five names and the department picks the most suitable, so only list names you'd accept, and check them first on the name search page.
Objectives are the activities the company may carry out, chosen from the national classification of economic activities. It's best to list plenty, covering future activities, since special approvals usually apply only when you license a particular objective. Look up each objective's official wording and code on the objective search page.
Usually: the commercial register (registration certificate), a lease contract or vocational license (either is enough), the tax number, the authorized signatories' IDs, and the memorandum of association. Lists vary slightly between banks, so ask before you go.
No. The vocational license needs a lease, but shared offices provide a yearly lease and get the vocational license issued too, for about 400–600 JOD in total. Check the office is permitted for your activity before paying.
