The Ministry of Investment Saudi Arabia (MISA), formerly known as SAGIA, plays a crucial role in enabling foreign investors to establish and operate their businesses in the Kingdom. Obtaining a MISA License is the first step for any international company or entrepreneur looking to invest in Saudi Arabia’s rapidly growing economy.
At J K Management Consultancies, we specialize in guiding investors through the MISA License Registration process with complete compliance, ensuring a smooth and efficient business setup in Saudi Arabia.
What is a MISA License?
A MISA License authorizes foreign investors to legally operate their business in Saudi Arabia. It grants permission for 100% foreign ownership in many sectors, allowing international investors to benefit from Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 initiative, which aims to diversify the economy beyond oil.
The MISA license ensures that your business operates under Saudi regulations while enjoying the benefits of the Kingdom’s investor-friendly policies.
Types of MISA Licenses
Depending on the nature of your business, MISA issues different types of licenses, including:
- Industrial License – For manufacturing and industrial activities.
- Commercial License – For trading and retail operations.
- Service License – For consulting, IT, education, and professional services.
- Entrepreneurial License – For startups and innovation-based businesses.
Our experts at J K Management Consultancies will help you identify which license suits your business activity best.
