How long does it take to close an acquisition of an Israeli company?

A straightforward private company acquisition with no Competition Authority filing typically takes 6 to 12 weeks from signed term sheet to closing. Add 4 to 8 weeks if a Competition Authority filing is required, and another 4 to 8 weeks for IIA approval if the target received R&D grants. Post-signing registrations with the Companies Registrar must be completed within 3 days of closing. A realistic timeline for a tech acquisition requiring both regulatory approvals is 4 to 6 months from term sheet to fully registered transfer.
