Corporate Law
Can a foreign company acquire 100% of an Israeli private company?
Yes. Israeli law does not restrict foreign ownership of Israeli private companies. A foreign buyer can acquire 100% of the shares without needing Israeli partners or local ownership requirements. The main constraints are Competition Authority clearance if the revenue thresholds are met, IIA approval if the target received government R&D grants, and sector-specific licensing requirements in regulated industries such as banking, telecom, and defence.
