Ten operational areas
Services
Everything Salt Corporate Services provides or coordinates in Iraq, grouped so that you can find it by the problem rather than by our internal structure.

Establish Your Presence
An address, a room and a working office in Baghdad.
Office and Business Presence
Companies win Iraqi work months before they are ready to sign a lease. We hold space in the heart of Baghdad — a real address, a real reception and a named coordinator, from the we…
Office Search, Setup and Relocation
Finding premises in Iraq is a market problem. Making them work on the first working day is a procurement and logistics problem. Salt runs both, and hands you a building that is fur…
Workplace Operations
Somebody has to order the water, book the meeting room, meet the contractor and sign for the delivery. In most foreign operations that somebody is being paid to do something else.…
Corporate Offices for Lease or Purchase
Tell us the requirement — city, district, size, budget, lease or purchase — and we search the market, verify what we find and put a shortlist in front of you. Nothing on this page …
People & HR
Hired locally, paid on time, filed properly.
Payroll, Employment and HR Administration
You need people in Iraq. You do not need an Iraqi HR department to get them, pay them and keep the records straight.…
Employee Mobility and Relocation
The first week decides whether an assignment works. Somewhere to live, a way to get about, a number that works and someone to ask.…
Procurement & Logistics
Specified, sourced, verified, delivered, filed.
Procurement Services
Send the requirement. Receive the file. Every purchase runs the same route, whether it is a generator for a site in Basra or twelve desks for a Baghdad office, and it ends in a doc…
Vendor and Supplier Management
A supplier you have not checked is a liability you have not priced. We find them, verify them, visit them, and keep a list you can defend.…
Freight, Logistics and Warehousing
Sea, air and road freight into Iraq, with the documentation checked before the container sails — which is the part that decides whether it clears.…
Inventory and Asset Management
Assets in Iraq are rarely stolen. They are moved, lent, reassigned and then quietly forgotten, which produces the same result on the balance sheet.…
Finance & Administration
Books, records and documents kept current.
General Translation and Document Services
Documents in Iraq have to travel: to a notary, to a ministry, to an embassy, to a counterparty and back. Somebody has to carry them and log where they are.…
Bookkeeping and Financial Records
Filings are only as good as the records behind them. We keep the books in order month by month — entries posted, invoices matched, accounts reconciled — so nothing has to be recons…
Facilities, IT & Fleet
Buildings, connectivity and vehicles kept running.
Facilities Management
A building does not fail gradually. It fails on a Thursday evening, and the question is whether there is a number to call and a programme that should have caught it.…
IT and Telecommunications
An office that cannot connect is a room with furniture in it. Connectivity is the first thing to arrange and the first thing to fail.…
Fleet Management
A fleet is a set of costs pretending to be a set of vehicles. Fuel, maintenance, tyres and downtime are where the money goes, and they are the hardest things to see.…
Travel, Transport & Security
Arrival, movement and protection, planned as one.
Driver, Executive Transport and Chauffeur Services
Transport in Iraq is a planning problem before it is a vehicle problem. Who is driving, which route, at what time, and who knows where the car is.…
Airport Services
The airport is where an Iraq visit is won or lost. Somebody is either waiting with your name on a card, or you are alone in an arrivals hall.…
Travel and Accommodation
Where people sleep in Iraq determines how much they can do. Accommodation is an operating decision, not a booking.…
Security Coordination
Security in Iraq is a licensed activity, and it should be. We contract and supervise the licensed company that does the work, so it is the right one — properly checked, properly co…
Executive & VIP Services
Board visits, delegations and private aviation.
Executive and Business Visitor Services
A senior visit to Iraq is a logistics exercise wearing a commercial suit. Everything depends on one person holding the whole plan.…
Private Jet Charter and Booking
One instruction covers the aircraft, the permits, the handling, the arrival and the car at the steps. We source and coordinate it; the flight itself is operated by an appropriately…
Events and Delegations
An event in Iraq is a logistics operation with guests. The programme is the easy part; the venue, the power, the catering and the movement are not.…
Market & Project Support
Mobilise a site, run it, and close it cleanly.
Project and Site Support
Mobilisation is a schedule problem. Everything has to arrive in the right order, and one late item makes the rest of the plan academic.…
Market Visits and Business Support
A market visit without a programme is a week of taxis. The value is in who you meet and whether the meetings were worth taking.…
Embassy and International Organisation Support
Missions do not need more suppliers. They need one accountable point through which the operational estate is run and reported.…
Operational Exit and Demobilisation
Leaving Iraq properly is a project. Left to drift, it becomes an open-ended liability and a lost archive.…
Oil and Gas Company Support
One local coordination point in Baghdad, Basra and Iraq's oil-producing areas — from market entry and contractor registration through mobilisation, gate passes, customs, transport,…
Market Research & Intelligence
Evidence about the market, not assumptions about it.
Strategic Research and Market Entry
Bring evidence from people, the field and digital sources together when the question is bigger than any one research method.…
Digital and Media Intelligence
Open-source intelligence, and the conversations and coverage shaping your market — read by people who work in Arabic, not by a tool configured for another market.…
Market and Consumer Research
Speak to the people who buy, use, sell and influence what you offer, and see what happens in the places where business and daily life actually take place.…
Asset Management
Property, equipment and rights you own in Iraq.
Real Estate Asset Management
Owning property in Iraq and managing it as an asset are different things. We run the income, the costs, the tenants and the condition, and give you the reporting a decision is actu…
Business and Physical Asset Management
An asset nobody has recorded is an asset nobody is maintaining. We keep the register, run the maintenance calendar, watch what is actually being used, and tell you what needs repla…
Intellectual Property Administration
Rights are usually lost to a missed date rather than a dispute. We keep the diary, hold the records, administer the licences and track the income — and the legal work goes to Salt …
Common questions
Can one provider coordinate our office, recruitment and payroll in Baghdad?
Yes, and that is the usual shape of an engagement. One account lead covers the office search or the serviced office, the local hiring, the employee files and the monthly payroll run, with one request channel and one monthly report rather than three suppliers blaming each other.
How can we arrange operational support for a project in Basra?
Send the scope, the site and the dates. Project mobilisation, accommodation, transport, procurement and site administration are scoped together, and for oilfield work the registration and gate-pass sequence starts in parallel rather than after. Basra is a regular working location, not an exception.
What information is needed to request oilfield-access assistance?
The field and the operator or prime contractor, your role on it, the crew list with nationalities and roles, the date they must be on site, and any registration you already hold. That is enough for us to tell you what is missing before it costs you a week.
Can Salt identify a corporate office for lease or purchase?
Yes. We run the search, verify that what we are shown exists and is available, and give you a written shortlist with terms and photographs. Title, registration, zoning, approvals and the transaction documents are legal work and go to Salt & Associates separately.
Can airport assistance, drivers, accommodation and private aviation be coordinated together?
They are usually the same instruction. One itinerary covers the aircraft, the airport handling, the vehicle at the steps, the hotel and the meetings, with one coordinator reachable throughout rather than four bookings hoping to meet.
What corporate services does Salt provide in Iraq?
Ten operational areas covering thirty-three services: presence and workplace, people and HR, procurement and logistics, finance and administration, facilities, IT and fleet, travel, transport and security, executive and VIP services, market and project support, market research and intelligence, and asset management. In practice that is office space, staff and payroll, procurement and freight, drivers and vehicles, facilities, the property, equipment and intellectual property you own, project mobilisation and executive visits — run from one desk in Baghdad.
Do you work outside Baghdad?
Yes. Baghdad is where the desk sits and where our business space is, and we work across the governorates — Basra, Najaf, Kirkuk, Mosul and elsewhere as a project requires.
Can we buy one service rather than all of them?
Most clients start with one and add the rest as the operation grows. There is no minimum bundle. If you only need payroll, buy payroll.
Is Salt Corporate Services a law firm?
No. Salt Corporate Services provides operational, administrative and business-support services in Iraq. It does not provide legal services or legal advice. Legal and regulatory services are provided separately by Salt & Associates under a separate engagement.
Who performs work that needs a licence?
Services requiring a licence are performed by appropriately licensed and insured providers selected and coordinated by Salt Corporate Services. Security is the clearest example: we select, contract and oversee the licensed provider, we do not hold the licence.
How are fees structured?
Salt fees and third-party costs are shown separately, always. There are no undisclosed commissions, rebates or mark-ups. Prices are not published because they depend on the requirement — you get a written proposal after a scoping discussion.
Not sure which service you need?
Describe the situation instead. We will tell you which services apply and what they would cost.
