Single-person company licenses temporarily halted
The Ministry of Commerce and Industry has begun organizing the mechanism for issuing licenses for one-person companies (freelance businesses). It temporarily suspended the issuance of new licenses during the first few months of 2026 to review and update procedures in line with market requirements. The ministry clarified that all previous licenses remain valid and operational, and that the adjustments aim to develop the business environment and achieve electronic coordination with the Public Authority for Civil Information. This is intended to enhance regulation of the licensing market, which covers approximately 122 economic activities in sectors such as technology, real estate, commerce, tourism, education, and arts. In the first five months of the year, 6,586 licenses were issued, with a 15% decrease recorded in May compared to April, as part of efforts to improve the organization of the freelance business market.
