Stay compliant on Nitaqat from your first hire
We plan your Saudization ratio before you hire, manage Qiwa and GOSI on an ongoing basis, and set up the registered office your license requires.
Localization & Saudization
Managing your Nitaqat standing through the Qiwa and GOSI portals and a registered physical office.
Nitaqat, Saudi Arabia's Saudization scoring system, sets a minimum ratio of Saudi nationals to expatriate staff by sector and company size — fall below your band and you risk visa freezes and restricted government services. We model your Nitaqat position before you make your first hire, not after, so your visa and recruitment plans stay aligned with the tier you need.
Ongoing, we manage your Qiwa labor-platform filings and GOSI social-insurance registrations for every employee, and handle the registered physical office and Baladiya requirements most licenses require for a valid operating address.

Common questions
- What happens if my company falls below its Nitaqat tier?
- The Ministry of Human Resources can restrict new visa issuance and some government services until your Saudi-to-expatriate ratio is back within your required band, so we monitor it proactively rather than reactively.
- Do I need a physical office to get a Commercial Registration?
- Most activities require a registered address on file with the Ministry of Commerce and local municipality; we arrange one that satisfies your license type.
