Book a call with our Riyadh teamGood to Know
The questions we answer most often about entering and operating in the Kingdom.
Registering a company in Saudi Arabia typically takes about 1 to 2 weeks once your documents are complete. Timelines shift with the activity you licence, the legal structure you choose, and whether attestations are already in hand — we tell you which of those apply before you start.
Any company with foreign ownership needs an investment licence from the Ministry of Investment. We prepare the file, submit it, and handle the follow-up until the licence is issued — then move straight into commercial registration.
Yes. Most activities allow full foreign ownership under a MISA licence. A small number of restricted activities require a Saudi partner, and we flag those in the first call rather than after you have paid.
Your Nitaqat band sets the Saudi-national ratio you must hold to keep issuing visas. We model the ratio against your hiring plan, run the payroll and GOSI registrations, and keep the band green as the team grows.
Licence and CR renewals, VAT and ZATCA filings, GOSI contributions, and labor-file updates — we handle every step and keep the calendar, so nothing lapses while you focus on growing your business.
Yes — a registered address is required for the CR and for visa issuance. Our licensed offices in Al Malqa, Riyadh satisfy the requirement on day one, and you can move to your own space later.
