Create more value
with your business in Iran

Our Shared Service Centers enable you to focus on your front office activities, supported by a highly professional, scalable and cost-effective back-office.

The expansion plans of our clients require flexibility and focus, therefore the implementation of permanent back-office structures in Iran, at least for the first rounds of development, is rarely justified.

Some companies do not have or simply do not want to carry internally the specific skills and professionals for an Accounting, Controlling, Tax, Legal, HR or IT department.

Scalable and cost-effective, our Shared Services Centers are customized to your specific needs. We select and supervise specialized professionals with the best level of expertise. The SSC can be dedicated for 3 months or 2 years, can be in-office or hosted. We work out with you the most adapted SSC model for a perfect match to your specific short term need or your long term strategy.

Employee outsourcing is dedicated to international companies willing to operate in Iran without having a permanent statutory structure, or making the choice of having no permanent employees in their Iranian structure.

IranianOffice hires and carries your employee(s) on its dedicated structure in Iran and deals with all HR, legal, financial, social & tax aspects. In the case of expatriates, we also take care of work permit and visa, as well as housing.

This service is invoiced either from Iran or from Europe, to our clients’ best convenience.

Iran has a large population of 80 million, well-educated and predominantly middle-class. It enjoys modern and westernized lifestyle standards (60% internet penetrations, 1.2 mobile phone per inhabitant).

With a fast growing GDP, Iran, which was before the lift of the sanctions the 28th largest economy worldwide, will quickly catch-up, and is expected to grow by 7% in 2016 according to World Bank. It will soon come back to its leader position in middle-east and top 15 worldwide.

Iran is an “energy superpower”, with the 4th world’s proven oil reserves and the 2nd world gas reserve, guaranteeing the investments and injected funds.

After years of sanctions, Iran needs to renovate its infrastructures (transport, telecom, water, etc.), and its population is eager to access to a more western lifestyle, hence more consumer products.
 The country has an industrial tradition and manufacturing capacities, and should be considered not only as an « export » country, but also as a « manufacturing » country.

Its university system produces 233 000 scientists and engineers a year. 7.5 million people have a university degree, which is equivalent to the total Hong-Kong or Israel population.

With its diversified economy - oil and gas revenue accounting for less than 25% of GDP unlike other middle east countries - and a very low public debt rate at 16% of its GDP, Iran has huge and sustainable potential for investment and growth.

Iranian tax system is competitive - corporate tax is at 25%, with numerous exemptions such as export activities, free tax zones (FTZ) and special economic zones (SEZ) and double taxation agreements have already been concluded with several countries such as Germany, Switzerland, France, Austria & Poland.

However, the legal, tax and business environment is complex, and there is no simple “user manual” on how to start business with or in Iran. International banks as well as big audit firms are not yet able to support their clients in Iran.
