Yes. Saudi Arabia now permits 100% foreign ownership in most sectors, with no requirement for a local Saudi partner or sponsor. This reform, driven by Vision 2030, has made the Kingdom one of the most attractive investment destinations in the region. Certain sectors may have specific ownership requirements — our team will advise you on the rules applicable to your activity.
The timeline varies depending on the type of company, business activity, and investor category. For a standard limited liability company, the process typically takes between 2 to 6 weeks from document submission to commercial registration issuance. We work to complete every process in the shortest possible time without compromising accuracy or compliance.
Required documents typically include: valid passport copies for all shareholders and directors, proof of address, a business plan or description of the intended activity, and any sector-specific certifications. For foreign investors, additional authentication of documents may be required. We provide a comprehensive document checklist during your initial consultation, tailored to your specific company type and activity.
In many cases, no. We can manage the majority of the formation process remotely on your behalf, through power of attorney and notarized documentation.
