Frequently Asked Questions

Listing on Tadawul's main market requires meeting CMA eligibility criteria including minimum capital, profitability track record, governance requirements, and preparation of a CMA-approved prospectus. The Nomu parallel market offers lighter requirements for smaller companies. We guide issuers through the full regulatory process from pre-IPO preparation to post-listing compliance.

Sukuk are Islamic financial certificates that represent ownership in an underlying asset or project, rather than a debt obligation like conventional bonds. They are structured to comply with Shariah law, which prohibits interest (riba). Saudi Arabia is one of the world's leading markets for Sukuk issuances. We advise on Sukuk structuring, documentation, and regulatory compliance.

Listed companies in Saudi Arabia must comply with ongoing CMA disclosure obligations, including publishing annual and quarterly financial statements, disclosing material events, obtaining shareholder approval for certain transactions, and adhering to corporate governance regulations. Non-compliance can result in fines and regulatory sanctions. We provide ongoing compliance advisory to listed companies.
