Establishing a startup in Saudi Arabia presents a significant and promising opportunity under the Kingdom's Vision 2030 and its ambition to become an international investment center.

If you wish to establish a company or expand your business in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), we are here to help and support you.
Why You Need a Business Registration Lawyer in Saudi Arabia
For registering a company in the Kingdom, you must follow some regulatory procedures at various government authorities, such as:
- Ministry of Commerce (MoC) – to extract the commercial register (CR).
- Ministry of Investment (MISA) – to extract foreign investment licenses.
- Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) – to register the tax.
- Municipalities and Sector Regulators – to extract the different operating permits.
Without the appropriate legal support, companies could encounter:
- Delays, if applications are incomplete or don’t meet legal requirements.
- Refusal of licenses or registrations.
- Fines due to failure to meet Saudization and labor law requirements.
- Legal conflicts pertaining to the ownership structure, company governance, or tax position.
