Question 1

Which legal structure suits my business in Jordan?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the activity, the number of partners, the capital involved, and how firmly you want to separate personal assets from company assets. The limited liability company is the most common choice because a partner's exposure is capped at their share. We review the activity and your growth plan before recommending a structure — converting later costs time and additional filings.

Question 2

My partner refuses to hand over the accounts. What can I do?

Accepted Answer

It usually starts with a formal notarial notice that documents the demand and sets a deadline. If the partner still does not respond, an accounting claim can be filed before the competent court, and where the company can no longer function, a dissolution and liquidation claim is filed together with a request to appoint a liquidator. We choose the route after reviewing the constitutional documents and the correspondence between you.

Question 3

Can a non-Jordanian set up a company in Jordan?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Jordanian law permits foreign investment across most sectors, subject to minimum capital thresholds and ownership limits in certain activities. We verify the position for your specific activity before starting the process, so the application is not rejected after the fees have been paid.
