Business software built for Iraq

Iraq is one of the Middle East's largest economies and one of its fastest-rebuilding markets, with a young population, a rapidly digitising banking sector and a business base spread across Baghdad, Basra and the Kurdistan Region. Companies operating federally, in the Kurdistan Region, or across both adopt Zoho and Odoo to run finance, sales and operations on a single system.

CurrencyIraqi dinar (IQD), with USD widely used in trade
TaxNo general VAT; sales tax on selected goods and services + 15% corporate income tax (35% oil and gas)
FilingGeneral Commission for Taxes; the Kurdistan Region files separately
PayrollState Social Security Department - 12% employer, 5% employee

Why businesses in Iraq choose Shyphan

Trading, contracting, logistics, oil services, telecoms and professional services firms are the backbone of the Iraqi private sector, and most of them run on spreadsheets and disconnected tools for far longer than they should. We put a single system in place - quotes, orders, invoices, stock and collections - without asking the team to change how they actually work.

Iraq applies no general VAT. A sales tax applies to selected goods and services, and corporate income tax is 15% for most sectors and 35% for oil and gas, filed with the General Commission for Taxes. Companies registered in the Kurdistan Region file with the Region's own tax administration, so groups operating on both sides of that line need their entities kept apart in the books from day one. We configure your finance system for that split, for dinar and dollar working, and for Arabic, Kurdish and English documents.

Where business is registered

Federal Iraq through the Ministry of Trade in Baghdad, the Kurdistan Region through its own registrar in Erbil, plus the Khor Al-Zubair and Al-Qaim free zones and the Basra port corridor at Umm Qasr. Groups often hold entities on both sides.

Across Iraq

MVP Development across Baghdad and central Iraq

We deliver MVP development for clients in Baghdad and central Iraq. Projects run remotely on Iraq hours with on-site workshops in Baghdad, Basra and Erbil where discovery or training justifies it.

Baghdad concentrates Iraq's startup and SME software demand: trading and logistics platforms out of Umm Qasr and the Kurdistan Region, property and brokerage tools, hospitality and delivery products, and a steady flow of founders building for the wider region from a Baghdad base.

MVP Development in Baghdad: the short answer

What it is
MVP Development for businesses in Baghdad - getting a working first version in front of real users quickly, without building the wrong thing twice.
Best suited to
MVP Development suits founders and corporate teams testing an idea before committing a full build budget.
Typical timeline
A first usable version of a focused product typically ships in six to ten weeks, with a clickable prototype inside the first two so you are reacting to something real rather than to a document.
What it costs
It depends entirely on scope, which is why we scope it hard first. We quote fixed-price phases in IQD after a discovery session so you can match spend to runway rather than signing an open-ended contract.
Local specifics
No general VAT in Iraq - sales tax applies to selected goods and services, corporate income tax is 15%, filed with the General Commission for Taxes, with the Kurdistan Region filing separately. Dinar and dollar working; Arabic, Kurdish and English documents.

FAQ

MVP Development Baghdad: questions answered

How small should an MVP be?
Smaller than you want it to be. One core journey, done properly, with everything else deferred. Most failed MVPs we are asked to rescue failed because they launched with fifteen features and no clear question to answer.
How much does an MVP cost in Iraq?
It depends entirely on scope, which is why we scope it hard first. We quote fixed-price phases in IQD after a discovery session so you can match spend to runway rather than signing an open-ended contract.
What if the idea does not work?
Then you have learned that for the cost of an MVP rather than a platform, which is the point. We build so the code is cheap to walk away from and the architecture is not a sunk cost you feel obliged to defend.
What happens after launch?
You own everything: code, repositories, cloud accounts and documentation. Most clients take a monthly support retainer for fixes, security patching and enhancements, but you are free to take it in-house or elsewhere.
Can you work in Arabic as well as English?
Yes. We deliver training and documentation in either language and build bilingual templates, forms and portals where your customers or staff need Arabic.
Can we speak to a reference client?
Yes. After the discovery call we will introduce you to a client of comparable size and sector wherever we have one who has agreed to act as a reference.
What happens if we want to leave?
Everything lives in your own Zoho account. Documentation, admin credentials and a handover period are part of the agreement, so there is no lock-in to us.
What does the first conversation cover?
A short discovery call: what you run today, what is not working, who it affects and what a good outcome looks like. You leave it knowing whether we are a fit and roughly what the work involves, with no obligation either way.
Can you handle a company registered in both federal Iraq and the Kurdistan Region?
Yes, and it is one of the most common reasons clients call us. The two are separate registrations with separate tax administrations, so we set the entities up as distinct books from the start - separate chart of accounts, separate tax codes, separate document numbering - with consolidated reporting on top. Retrofitting that split after a year of mixed transactions is far more expensive than doing it on day one.
Can the system run in Iraqi dinar and US dollars at the same time?
Yes. Most Iraqi businesses quote and settle in both, so we set the base currency to match your statutory reporting and enable multi-currency on customers, suppliers and bank accounts. Exchange differences post automatically, and you can issue a dinar invoice against a dollar purchase without keeping a parallel spreadsheet.
Does Iraq require electronic invoicing?
No. Iraq has no general e-invoicing mandate, so nothing has to be cleared through a government portal before you issue an invoice. What matters is that your records stand up to a General Commission for Taxes review, which means sequential numbering, retained supporting documents and a ledger that reconciles. We configure for that rather than for a clearance regime that does not exist.
How long does a build take?
A first usable version of a focused product typically ships in six to ten weeks, with a clickable prototype inside the first two so you are reacting to something real rather than to a document. Larger platforms run in phases of four to six weeks, and we release at the end of each phase rather than holding everything back for a single launch. Scope, integrations and how fast decisions come back from your side set the real number.

Who this is for

Is MVP Development the right fit for you?

MVP Development suits founders and corporate teams testing an idea before committing a full build budget. If that is you, a prototype in the first two weeks will tell you more than another month of specification will.

It is a poor fit if an off-the-shelf product already covers ninety per cent of what you need, or if the requirements are still changing weekly. We will say so rather than bill for the discovery.
