Why Saudi Arabia?

Foreign companies enter the Saudi market through a MISA licence (formerly SAGIA), issued by the Ministry of Investment. Most sectors — including consulting, technology, manufacturing, and retail — now allow full foreign ownership with no local partner required, and the licence is a prerequisite for your Commercial Registration, corporate bank account, and staff visas. With Vision 2030 driving major investment into technology, logistics, healthcare, and tourism, the Kingdom has become one of the region's most active markets for foreign entrants.

Why Choose Saudi Arabia?

100% Foreign Ownership: Most commercial and service activities no longer require a Saudi sponsor or shareholder.

Fast-Growing Market: The Kingdom's Vision 2030 diversification drive is pushing major investment into technology, logistics, healthcare, and tourism.

Access to Government Tenders: A licensed local entity can bid on public sector contracts through the Etimad portal.

Open Capital Account: Profits and capital can be freely repatriated abroad.

Streamlined Registration: A unified national Commercial Registration and digital MISA application have shortened setup timelines considerably.
