Thinking of expanding into Saudi Arabia? If you’re looking to enter the Kingdom’s booming market, one of the most efficient and flexible ways to do so is to establish a Limited Liability Company in Saudi Arabia. With the Saudi government actively promoting foreign investment and easing business regulations, forming an LLC in Saudi Arabia is now more accessible than ever.
Why Choose an LLC in Saudi Arabia?
Setting up a Limited Liability Company offers multiple advantages:
- 100% foreign ownership (for most sectors)
- Limited liability protection for investors
- Flexible business activities (commercial, industrial, professional)
- Visa eligibility for owners and employees
- Credibility with local partners and government entities
Whether you’re a solo entrepreneur or a growing company looking to scale in the Middle East, an LLC provides a stable legal structure to operate under Vision 2030‘s progressive economy.
Steps to Establish a Limited Liability Company in Saudi Arabia
Here’s a simplified walkthrough of the process:
1. Choose Your Business Activity
The type of activity you select determines license type and approval requirements. Popular categories include:
- Trading
- Manufacturing
- IT & Consultancy
- Real Estate
- Contracting
2. Reserve a Trade Name
Pick a unique business name that complies with Saudi naming guidelines and isn’t already registered.
3. Submit Investment License Application (MISA)
For foreign investors, getting approval from MISA (Ministry of Investment Saudi Arabia) is essential. This includes:
- Business plan
- Financial projections
- Legalized company documents
4. Draft the Articles of Association
This document outlines shareholding, capital, profit-sharing, and business governance.
5. Commercial Registration with MCI
Once the investment license is issued, you can register the LLC with the Ministry of Commerce (MCI).
6. Register with ZATCA, GOSI, Qiwa & Other Platforms
To be fully operational, your company must register for VAT/Zakat (ZATCA), employee insurance (GOSI), labor systems (Qiwa), and obtain your municipality license (Balady).
Key Requirements for LLC Formation
- Minimum 1 shareholder (can be foreign)
- Minimum capital may vary depending on the activity
- Registered local address in Saudi Arabia
- Appointment of a General Manager
- Notarized and attested documents (for foreign shareholders)
