Build Your Saudi Business with Clarity

Starting a business in Saudi Arabia involves more than registering a name. The right legal structure, business activity, licensing route and government registrations need to work together before operations begin.

Saudi Investor Hub helps foreign investors and established businesses understand the administrative route and coordinate the work required to establish and operate in the Kingdom.

What the process usually involves

  • Clarifying the proposed activity and ownership structure
  • Preparing the information and documents required for the relevant licensing route
  • Coordinating Ministry of Investment (MISA) and Ministry of Commerce stages, where applicable
  • Supporting commercial registration and initial government portal setup
  • Planning the operating requirements that follow establishment, including visas, Qiwa, Muqeem, VAT and banking support where required

Business setup support for foreign investors

Every project has different requirements. The appropriate route depends on the business activity, investor profile, ownership structure and intended operations. We help clients understand the sequence before they begin and support the administrative work through the process.

Before you start

It is useful to have a clear description of your business, the activities you want to carry out, shareholder and manager details, and any available company documents from outside Saudi Arabia. Some documents may need attestation or legalization before use in the Kingdom.
