The most common forms of business vehicles are private limited liability companies. Partnerships are typically reserved for accountants, law firms and investment funds, mutual funds and hedge funds. When a foreign company is deciding how to operate its business in Israel, it will choose between incorporating a private limited liability company (typically a subsidiary) and registering a foreign branch. This decision is usually based on tax considerations. From a corporate perspective, if the foreign company elects to register a branch, the foreign company will be subject to Israeli jurisdiction and will be directly responsible for the debts and liabilities of the branch. Public companies are also common in Israel, and Israeli companies can choose to float themselves on the TASE or on various other international exchanges.
