Limited liability companies (LLCs) are among the most common types of companies in Egypt, due to their flexibility and suitability for all small and medium-sized (SMEs) activities. Law No. 159 of 1981 and its Executive Regulations, as enacted by the Egyptian lawmakers, distinguish LLCs because the liability of their partners is limited to their share in the capital without extending to their personal funds. LLCs can be established with at least two partners and at most fifty partners. They are also required to have articles of organization and articles approved by the General Authority for Investment and Free Zones (GAFI).

This legal form allows investors to protect their personal funds, as well as giving them flexibility in managing their businesses, investing, and expanding in the Egyptian market.
