Company Formation for Foreign Investors

Entering the Saudi market is a maze of licenses and scattered agents

100% ownership in Saudi Arabia — with one partner, not five agents

We advise you and execute on the ground — from your MISA investment license to a company operating from day one, with a written guarantee to redo any rejected transaction.

01

We plan

An entry blueprint built on real numbers, not estimates.

02

We form

A fully licensed Saudi entity ready to operate.

03

We operate

Office, team, systems, and operations from day one.

Pricing ladder

Three phases — start where you need to, and we stay until your company runs

The price you see is our professional fee only. Government fees are not included — they are added on top and paid to the authorities at actual cost, with zero markup. Prices in SAR, excluding VAT.

Indicative — contracts are invoiced in Saudi Riyal (SAR).

The Blueprint

Why our blueprint is different from any market study

Real quotes, not estimates

Every cost item is backed by a signed vendor quote — no market averages.

A living financial model you own

A live Excel model — change headcount or salaries, and see the 5-year impact instantly.

Execution-ready and fully credited

Take it to any provider — or execute with us, and the full fee is credited against formation.

We don't just plan it — we build it

Unlike advisory firms, we have an on-the-ground execution team in Riyadh that turns the plan into a running company.

Transparency

Government fees — as-is, no markup

A separate line item, added on top of our professional fee and paid to the government authorities — passed to you at actual cost. Amounts are indicative, set by the authorities, and subject to change.

Why us

Different from advisory firms — different from formation shops

We execute — not just advise

Advisory firms hand you a plan. We hand you an operating company — our team is on the ground in Riyadh.

One partner instead of five agents

No juggling an accountant here, a lawyer there, a visa handler elsewhere. One point of contact, one accountability.

Written re-processing guarantee

If any transaction is rejected due to our error, we redo it at our cost — written in the contract.

Published fee, government fees billed separately at cost

Our professional fee is published. Government fees are a separate line item, passed to you as-is with zero markup.

Milestone-based payments

You don't pay everything up front. Payments are tied to clear delivery milestones.

Weekly progress reports

You know exactly where every transaction stands each week — no chasing, no open questions.
