Establishing a business in KSA is an excellent step towards your future, as it grants you opportunities to become wealthier due to its rapidly growing economy and latest investment reforms.

Why Incorporating a Company in Saudi Arabia Requires Legal Expertise
The business setting in KSA is governed by regulations of various government authorities, such as:
- Ministry of Commerce (MoC) — for purposes of the commercial registration.
- Ministry of Investment (MISA) — for purposes of the foreign investment licensing.
- Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) — for purposes of the tax and zakat registration.
- Specialized Regulatory Authorities – which regulate specific sectors, such as healthcare, construction, education, and pharmaceuticals, among others.
When establishing a company, you may face some challenges, such as:
- Choosing the proper legal form (such as LLC, joint stock company, or branch office).
- How to draft the establishment documents in accordance with the requirements of Saudi Law.
- Fulfilling the Saudization requirements and labor law obligations.
- Setting the structure of the foreign title in accordance with the legal requirements.
- Extracting all the required operating permits and approvals.
Sadany & Partners efficiently and promptly handles business setup procedures, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and achieving long-term commercial objectives.
