Company Formation
Setting up a company in Saudi Arabia is a strategic move, but its procedures span several authorities. We turn that journey into a clear, fully-managed path — choosing the right entity with you, preparing the documents, and following every step until your commercial registration and bank account are ready to operate.
What does company formation include?
Consultation & entity selection
We analyze your activity and recommend the optimal legal form (sole proprietorship, LLC, joint-stock, foreign branch, or representative office) based on activity size, partners, liability and capital requirements.
Economic feasibility study
A complete study covering market, financial, technical, operational feasibility and risk analysis — supporting your decision and often required for bank financing and certain licenses.
Business plan
A professional document defining goals, strategies and financial projections, designed to convince investors, lenders and banks.
Registration & licensing
Trade-name reservation, articles of association, commercial registration, chamber of commerce, Qiwa, GOSI, zakat & tax, national address, plus municipal and sector licenses.
Foreign-investor formation
Obtaining the Ministry of Investment license, choosing the right structure (LLC, joint-stock, RHQ, scientific & technical office), and the general manager's visa.
Bank account & ongoing support
We recommend the right bank, prepare its requirements and coordinate to speed up opening, then continue with periodic compliance checks after formation.
