When one wishes to create a company in Israel, they must register it in the Registrar of Israeli 
Companies, Rasham HaHaverot, located in Jerusalem.
DOCUMENTS THAT HAVE TO BE PROVIDED
- Company bylaws. All applications must include a copy of the company’s bylaws.
- The declaration of the first shareholders. This statement is a document in which each shareholder must acknowledge they are not prohibited by law or by verdict from being or becoming a shareholder.
- The statement of the first director. This document states that the director is willing to be the director.
- Proof of payment. Registering a company costs approximately 2,500 shekels.

Each of these documents will need a lawyer’s signature to recognize and certify the veracity of all the elements present in the various declarations. When a person involved in establishing the company is not an Israeli citizen, it will be necessary to provide a photocopy of their passport.
Company management
After verification of all documents, the Registrar of Companies will issue a registration number, which will be the identity number of the new company.
A company must have an accountant for the annual certification of its accounts. The accountant is responsible for the monthly accounting and the drafting of the annual report. Every year a company has to pay a fee to the Registrar of Companies. However, only a partial payment is required if the fee is paid in advance.
Finally, in the event a company wishes to change its bylaws, it must report this to the Registrar within 14 days of the decision.
