I plan to open a small shop in Amman and want to understand the full registration process, from name reservation to the Commercial Register entry. What documents are required, who handles licensing and tax registration, and how long does the process usually take?

To open a small shop in Amman, you reserve a trade name at the Ministry of Industry and Trade, then register the business (as a sole proprietorship or LLC) using your ID. After that, you obtain the municipal license from the Greater Amman Municipality, which requires the lease, site plan, civil defense approval, and your registration papers. You then register for income and sales tax using your ID, commercial registration, and lease. Social Security registration is needed if you have employees. The whole process usually takes about 5–10 working days. Rawan Noubani RN Law Firm - Founder
