The procedure for registering a corporation in Yemen (LLC) is as follows: Married women must obtain permission from the relevant authority to leave the marital residence, according to Personal Status Law No. 20 of 1992, Art. 40 (which would only apply to married women). In Yemen, spouses are permitted to register a business. Permission is needed if a woman wants to write a firm. The aforementioned procedure would take roughly one working day to complete. The applicant for Yemen company registration must reserve a distinctive name for the business in the next stage. Because the company's name needs to be unique, no other company or person may use it. The name may violate no Yemen local or national legislation. The corporation may reserve and register its name at the Commercial Register. The Ministry of Trade & Industry is responsible for executing this process. It would take approximately one working day to finish this process, and registration costs YER 17,020.

The membership application fee is YER 18,900, and the processing time is approximately one working day. After becoming a member, the applicant would need a commercial licence from the Municipality. When creating the firm, the promoters are required to specify the kind of business they conduct. The municipality will supply the agency permit number. This licence must be on display in the company's registered office. It would take roughly a week to obtain this licence worth YER 80,000.

Six per cent is withheld from the employee's pay, while the employer pays the remaining nine per cent. It would take roughly two days to finish this.

The following business configurations are acceptable for Yemeni company registration: A partnership is a type of organisation in which two or more individuals come to an understanding to conduct business together to split profits and losses. An individual's liability in a partnership would be limitless. Therefore, the partners' assets may be pursued by the creditors. A limited partnership is an organisation where liability is restricted to a certain degree. In this case, the partnership corporation comprises two or more partners.
