Consists of two categories of partners; general partners who manage the company, and limited partners who contribute capital without being involved in management.

Consist of one or more persons, with each partner’s liability limited to their capital share, and can be registered with a single partner.
Consist of two or more persons and can also be formed by a single person upon recommendation from the Minister of Industry, Trade, and Supply. This type of company allows partners to control its legal framework based on current and future outlooks and manage the company both internally among the owners and with external parties, possibly having multiple management methods simultaneously.

The Jordanian Companies Law No. 22 of 1997 is essential for the success of the business environment in Jordan. It defines the environment in which investors operate and facilitates the procedures for company registration. The law includes several amendments aimed at improving the investment environment in the Kingdom, such as reducing capital fees and simplifying the process of valuing companies’ fixed assets.
