Frequently asked questions
Answers to what sellers and buyers ask us most.
Didn't find your answer?
Contact usWhat kind of companies can be listed?
Any company or establishment formally registered in Egypt with a valid commercial register and tax card: LLCs, one-person companies, joint stock companies, sole proprietorships and partnerships. Unregistered activities are not accepted.
Will people know my company is for sale?
No. The public listing never shows your company name, brand or address. Buyers see a summary of the business and its figures, and the identity is only revealed to a buyer you approve after they accept the confidentiality agreement.
Which documents do you need to list a company?
No document is needed to submit a listing. Upload the commercial register extract, before or after publishing, and your listing carries the "CR available" badge that buyers trust more. If the company trades you can also add the tax card, the articles of incorporation or company gazette, a proof of authority if you are not the owner, a VAT certificate, social insurance printout and financial statements.
Who can see the documents I upload?
Your documents are visible only to the people who operate the platform and are never shown to buyers. Data room files are visible only to buyers whose requests you approved, and every download is logged.
How much does it cost to list?
Listing is currently free for both sellers and buyers during the launch period.
How long until my listing goes up?
Most listings go up within one business day of being submitted. If the public listing is missing something, we send you a clear note saying what to add.
Does CompanyExit negotiate or handle payments?
No. CompanyExit is a platform for presenting opportunities and organising secure contact between the parties. We never hold funds and do not give financial or legal advice. We recommend involving a lawyer and a certified accountant before completing any deal.
How is company ownership transferred in Egypt?
It depends on the legal form: for LLCs and one-person companies, the articles are usually amended and shares transferred through GAFI; for sole proprietorships, the tangible and intangible assets are sold; for joint stock companies, shares are transferred under the applicable procedures. Your lawyer will confirm the right steps for your deal.
Do you check the company's documents or ownership?
No. We don't review documents, check that they are genuine, or confirm who owns the company. The "CR available" badge only means the seller uploaded the commercial register extract, and our team reads the public listing before it goes live so it doesn't reveal the company. Buyers check the documents, figures and ownership themselves with their lawyer and accountant before paying.
