NABIZ: Iraq's Digital Gateway for Business Registration & Investment
A unified online platform to help Iraq diversify beyond oil, formalize SMEs and startups, reduce unemployment, and attract international investment.
A single digital front door for Iraq's economy
NABIZ replaces fragmented manual processes with one application journey, one business identity, and one transparent compliance trail — for citizens, government, and global investors.
Diversify beyond oil
Accelerate non-oil private-sector growth by reducing the time and cost to formalize a business.
Reduce unemployment
Make it dramatically easier for SMEs and startups to register, hire, and access incentives — creating real private-sector jobs.
Attract investors
Give foreign investors a predictable, English-Arabic-Kurdish pathway with clear documents, timelines, and fast-track zones.
Protect public revenue
Anti-abuse safeguards — beneficial ownership, activity-code locking, related-party detection — prevent fictitious re-registration.
Formalize SMEs & startups
3–5 year tax incentives reward businesses that register, report annually, and grow into long-term taxpayers.
Govern with data
Real-time KPIs by sector and governorate help ministries plan, target reforms, and measure impact.
Manual processes hold Iraq back
- Heavy dependence on oil revenue makes the economy vulnerable to global price shocks.
- Many young Iraqis still rely on public-sector employment as the main job pathway.
- Registering a company today involves multiple offices, paper documents, and unpredictable timelines.
- Informality keeps SMEs and startups outside the formal tax base.
- International investors lack a transparent, single-window entry process.
