About the office
Al Qabas Public Relation is a clearing agent licensed by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, on the commercial register since September 1995 and based in Manama. It represents companies before seven government authorities under formal authorisation, forming companies for investors and following up the government transactions of companies operating in the Kingdom.
The monthly subscription and the single request
A company operating in the Kingdom needs continuous follow-up of its government transactions: dates that expire, conditions that change, and a workforce ceiling and Bahrainisation rate that shift as headcount changes. These transactions recur throughout the year rather than at one point in it.
Al Qabas therefore works on a monthly subscription alongside single requests. The subscription covers following up renewal dates, reviewing the conditions, filing the transactions, settling their fees and delivering their documents. The tier follows the company’s headcount, so it knows its monthly cost in advance.
Anything outside the recurring transactions, such as workforce ceiling increases, violation removal, liquidation and changes of legal form, is studied case by case and quoted in writing before work begins.
What we hold to on every transaction
Speed of follow-up
A number of recurring transactions, such as certain renewals, are completed within one working day once the documents and requirements are in order, where the authority’s own procedure allows it.
Early renewal notice
For subscription clients covered by the follow-up service, a notice is sent sixty days before a registration or permit expires.
Government fees at their official value
Government fees are settled at the value prescribed by the relevant authority, with the official receipts for the transaction provided.
Formal representation
The company is followed up and represented before the relevant authorities under the required formal authorisations and documents.
The authorities we follow up our clients’ transactions before
Follow-up and representation proceed under a formal authorisation from the company, within the scope of the agreed transactions, and the company may withdraw it at any time.
