• In case the investor obtains a commercial registration only if a location or premises is not yet ready, i.e. the commercial permit will not be issued, hence the approval to hire employees from abroad and the EID will not be issued as well. The company business can only be conducted once the investor acquires a commercial permit.
• In case the investor wishes to establish a factory, they obtain a commercial registration then proceed to collect other preliminary approvals to enable issuance of an industrial permit. Included in the procedures is the allocation of industrial land and issuance of an environmental permit, which is part of the initial approvals towards obtaining an industrial permit. Once finished, the investor can start the factory setup and preparations so that later he can apply for the Industrial Registry.
