Why a Saudi LLC
The Kingdom is open for business. An LLC is how you plug in.
Selling into Saudi Arabia from abroad works — until you need a local contract, a local hire, a government tender or a VAT number. A Limited Liability Company gives you a real, bankable presence and the business solutions to grow it.
01
Limited liability
Your personal assets and parent company stay separate from the Saudi entity’s obligations.
02
Up to 100% foreign ownership
With a MISA licence, most activities no longer need a local partner — you keep full control.
03
Sign contracts locally
Saudi clients and partners prefer — and often require — a locally registered counterparty.
04
Hire and sponsor staff
Bring in your team on work visas and recruit Saudi talent through Qiwa and GOSI.
05
Win government work
A local entity — and for larger groups a Regional HQ — opens the door to public-sector contracts.
06
Ride Vision 2030
Mega-projects, tourism, tech and industry are growing fast. A local presence puts you in the room.

FAQ
Questions investors ask us first.
Can a foreigner own 100% of a company in Saudi Arabia?
For most business activities, yes. With an investment licence from the Ministry of Investment (MISA), foreign investors can hold up to 100% of an LLC. A few sectors still carry ownership limits or extra approvals — we check your activity on the first call.
How long does company formation in Saudi Arabia take?
It depends on your activity, your documents and how quickly attestation is completed in your home country. After the consultation we give you a written timeline with each milestone and update you as each one is completed.
Do I need to live in Saudi Arabia to set up a business?
No. Most of the business setup process can be run remotely. The company needs a general manager, and we advise on visa options if you plan to relocate or hire.
What documents will I need?
Typically shareholder passports, the parent company’s registration documents and a board resolution, attested for use in Saudi Arabia. We send you a tailored checklist so nothing is missed.
Can you help with the bank account, VAT and visas after setup?
Yes. We handle corporate bank account opening, ZATCA VAT registration, GOSI, Qiwa, Muqeem and work visas, plus ongoing accounting and PRO services — so you are fully operational, not just registered.
How much does business setup in Saudi Arabia cost?
Government fees vary by activity and licence type. You receive an itemised quote after the free consultation, so you see every government and service fee before you commit.
