Set up your company in Saudi Arabia knowing the cost from day one
We register your company with the Ministry of Commerce, the Saudi Business Center and the Ministry of Investment, and give you the full cost in detail before you pay anything.
Your route to the commercial registration
From your parent company to your first invoice in Saudi Arabia.
We'll be upfront before you pay
Ownership percentage and required capital vary by activity. Not every activity allows full ownership on the same terms, and we explain that in the first call, not after signing.

Frequently asked questions
Can I set up a company in Saudi Arabia while living in Egypt?
In most cases, yes. Your company documents are notarised and attested in your country, and registration is done electronically. If your case requires travel at any step, we will tell you from the first call.
Do I need a Saudi partner?
Not as a general rule. Many activities allow full foreign ownership, while others have specific conditions on capital or partnership. We review your activity and tell you where you stand before you sign.
How is the cost calculated?
In two parts: government fees, paid to the authorities, and our fees. The calculator gives you an estimate based on your case and the number of partners, and we separate the two parts in your quotation.
How long does setting up take?
It depends on the type of entity, how ready the documents are, and how they are attested. Once we have reviewed your case, we give you a written timetable.
What is the difference between an entrepreneur licence and a subsidiary of a parent company?
A subsidiary is set up under the name of an existing company outside Saudi Arabia, and its documents must be attested. An entrepreneur licence is for early-stage founders without a parent company, and requires a support letter from an approved body such as an incubator or accelerator.
What do I need once the registration is issued?
A bank account, tax registration, Qiwa and GOSI, and visas for your team. We do all of this with you so the company actually operates, not just registers.
