PI Startup Advisory

About PI Startup Advisory

Founded in Manama in 2019 by a consultant holding CPA and anti-money-laundering credentials, PI Startup Advisory concentrates on helping foreign investors register and bank a company in Bahrain. The firm reports having processed more than a thousand registration and amendment filings for clients from over thirty-seven nationalities, among them founders from the UK, the USA, India, Pakistan, Nigeria and elsewhere in the Gulf. Its work spans pre-formation checks of activity codes and bank fit, incorporation, address and municipality approvals, corporate account coordination and the investor visa. Once the company is live it continues with recurring bookkeeping, VAT filings and preparation for the annual audit, so that clients keep one contact for the full lifecycle. Fixed-fee packages are published online and the team works in English from a single office in the capital.
