SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Finding reliable information about Israeli companies is confusing because data is split across multiple registries (Rasham HaChevarot, GuideStar, partnership registrar), company names are stored in Hebrew only, and status values like "in breach of law" are easy to miss during due diligence. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Company Search: Look up companies by name or number at the Israel Corporations Authority, with guidance on free basic info versus paid full extracts (nesach chevra). - Entity Type Comparison: Compare all Israeli business structures (Chevra Baam, Osek Morsheh, Amuta, partnerships, cooperatives) by liability, tax rates, fees, and filing requirements. - Registration Guidance: Step-by-step incorporation instructions for a Chevra Baam, including 2026 fees and post-registration steps with the Tax Authority and Bituach Leumi. - Use Case: A user asks whether an Israeli supplier is legitimate. The Skill checks the registrar for the company's status, flags a "mufrat hok" (in breach of law) result as a due-diligence red flag, and cross-checks NBCTF sanctions designations. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to look up an Israeli company by name or company number and report its registration status, entity type, and any red flags.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I look up an Israeli company by name or number?

Search the Israel Corporations Authority at ica.justice.gov.il by company name (Hebrew works best) or 9-digit company number. Basic info like status, address, and type is free; a full extract (nesach chevra) costs approximately 53 NIS.

What is the difference between Osek Morsheh and Chevra Baam in Israel?

Osek Morsheh is a tax registration at the Tax Authority with unlimited personal liability and personal tax brackets, suited for freelancers. Chevra Baam is a registered limited company at Rasham HaChevarot with ~23% corporate tax and limited liability, suited for startups and growing businesses.

Why does an Israeli company search return no results for an English name?

The companies registrar stores names primarily in Hebrew, so English trading names often return nothing. Search using the Hebrew name or the 9-digit company number instead.

Where do I find Israeli non-profits (amutot) if they are not on the companies registrar?

Amutot and public-benefit companies (CHL"Tz) are listed on GuideStar at guidestar.org.il, the Ministry of Justice's consolidated NPO portal, not on the main ica.justice.gov.il search. Extracts there are free.

Can I look up the ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) of an Israeli company?

No public UBO registry exists in Israel as of May 2026; the law is still pre-enactment and will not be publicly accessible when enacted. Closest signals are directors and shareholders on a paid full extract, annual reports, and ISA Maya disclosures for public companies.

What does "mufrat hok" status mean for an Israeli company?

It means the company is "in breach of law", typically for unpaid annual fees or missing reports. It is one of four registrar statuses (active, in liquidation, struck off, in breach) and is a significant due-diligence red flag.
