Set up a 100% foreign-owned company in Saudi Arabia
We handle the full incorporation path — from your MISA investment license to a live Commercial Registration — so you can open a Saudi entity without a local partner.
Company formation & legal structuring
100% foreign-owned MISA investment licenses, Commercial Registration, and Articles of Association drafted to Saudi requirements.
Every foreign company entering Saudi Arabia starts with the same gate: a Ministry of Investment (MISA) license. We prepare and file the application, structure the entity to match your parent company's activity, and manage every round of clarification MISA requests, so the license is issued on the first clean pass wherever possible.
Once the license is in hand, we take the Commercial Registration and Articles of Association through the Ministry of Commerce, drafted to match Saudi corporate law while preserving the governance terms your board actually wants — voting rights, board composition, and profit distribution included.
