What our Syria company report includes
Our Syria reports draw on accessible Commercial Registry records, the General Commission for Taxes and Fees, Central Bank of Syria information where retrievable, and judicial records; fees may apply for certain records. Coverage of any individual source depends on what the subject company has filed and what is publicly accessible at the time of the search.
Syria's commercial registration, formerly handled by the Ministry of Internal Trade and Consumer Protection, now falls under the Ministry of Economy and Industry, created on 29 March 2025 by merging the internal-trade, economy-and-foreign-trade and industry ministries; under Decree 114 of 2025 the Investor Service Centre within the Syrian Investment Authority serves as the single window for company registration.

Note on Syrian data: Syria operates under one of the most layered sanctions regimes affecting any country: US Caesar Act (extraterritorial), OFAC SDN designations, EU consolidated measures, UK OFSI list. Following the December 2024 transition, sanctions are evolving and current screening against latest lists is essential.
Why verify a Syrian company?
Syria's commercial environment was, until 2025, dominated by one of the most extensive sanctions architectures imposed on any single country. Until its repeal in December 2025 the US Caesar Act had particular extraterritorial reach, affecting third-country businesses transacting with Syrian government-linked entities, and the OFAC SDN list together with EU and UK sanctions covers a substantial part of the Syrian formal economy. Following the December 2024 political transition, sanctions are in active evolution, with general licences and sectoral relaxations forming important context for any commercial engagement.
