Roadmap2startup for Kurdistan Region of Iraq

Following the official Orange Corners Erbil opening, we have more good news for the Kurdistan Region and its entrepreneurs!

In collaboration with Orange Corners, Five One Labs has created a Roadmap2Startup for entrepreneurs in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.

Red tape can make it difficult for young entrepreneurs to know how and where to register their business. Through extensive research, Five One Labs has created an up to date overview of the applicable rules and regulations. This has resulted in a comprehensive and easy to use step-by-step guide to starting a business in the KRI: the Roadmap2startup.

Freely accessible in English, a Kurdish version and a version for Iraq will be available soon!
