Establishing a business in Saudi Arabia offers lucrative opportunities, especially with the recent economic reforms. If you’re looking to enter this fast-growing market, obtaining the Ministry of Investment (MISA) license is a mandatory requirement for foreign-owned companies. MISA, formerly known as SAGIA, ensures that all foreign investors follow the necessary steps to legally establish their companies in the Kingdom. Learn more Saudi Arabia Company Formation with J K.
MISA Licensing Process
To obtain the MISA license, foreign companies need to provide several key documents for registration. These include:
Trade License/Certificate of Registration
Memorandum/Articles of Association
Power of Attorney
Previous Years’ Audited Financials
All these documents must be attested by the Saudi Arabian embassy in the company’s home country before they can be accepted in Saudi Arabia. Learn more Saudi Arabia Company Formation with J K.
Once the documents are received in the Kingdom, the MISA license issuance process typically takes 5-10 working days. At JK Management Consultancy, we can guide you through the entire licensing process, so you don’t need to travel to Saudi Arabia for any paperwork or approvals.
Commercial Registration (CR) Issuance
After obtaining the MISA license, the next step is registering your company with the Ministry of Commerce (MoC). This involves signing your company’s Memorandum & Articles of Association in front of a notary in Saudi Arabia.
The timeline for the Commercial Registration (CR) issuance is also 5-10 working days after the MISA license approval. At JK Management Consultancy, we can assist in signing the required documents on your behalf (if authorized through a Power of Attorney), ensuring that the registration process moves smoothly.
