Frequently asked
Do I need a Saudi partner?
Not in most activities. A MISA investment licence lets a foreign investor own 100% of the company. We confirm eligibility for your specific activity first.
Which city should we register in?
Riyadh is the most common choice for most sectors. Jeddah suits trade and logistics; Makkah and Madinah have restrictions. We advise based on your activity.
How long does it take?
A well-prepared file moves through the MISA process and reaches a trading company in a realistic window we discuss at the first call. Missing documents restart the clock.
What is Saudization (Nitaqat)?
A quota system requiring a proportion of Saudi nationals on payroll. We set up your Qiwa account and guide compliance from day one.
