Frequently Asked Questions

A limited liability company can typically be incorporated within 2–4 weeks once documents are complete. Timelines vary with the sector, special approvals and the founders' nationality. We manage the process end to end to avoid delays.

The Companies Law provides for limited liability companies, joint stock companies, simplified joint stock companies, general and limited partnerships, and professional companies. Foreign companies may also register a branch. The right choice depends on liability, investors, fundraising and exit plans.

The Companies Law sets no general minimum capital for an LLC. Minimum capital can still apply to specific regulated activities and certain foreign-investment categories, so the figure depends on your activity. We confirm the exact requirement before you incorporate.

Typically: the parent company's commercial registration and articles (attested and translated), audited financial statements for the last year, a board resolution to establish in Saudi Arabia, and passport copies of shareholders and the manager. Individual founders provide passports and, where relevant, professional qualifications.

In most cases yes. With a power of attorney we can complete registration, incorporation and licensing on your behalf. Bank account opening may require the manager's presence depending on the bank.
