For international investors
Entering the Saudi market on solid legal ground
Saudi Arabia is one of the most attractive investment markets in the world, and moving quickly there requires an exact understanding of its rules. We work with investors from the first consultation to an operating business, using video meetings and electronic notarisation that reduce the need to travel.

- Representation that protects the investment when needed
The investor journey
From idea to an operating business
Five stages we take international investors through, one at a time.
- 01
Structure the investment
We choose the right legal form for your activity with you: limited liability company, joint stock company, or branch of a foreign company.
- 02
Investment licence
We confirm the activity is open to foreign investment and its conditions, and handle the licence file with the Ministry of Investment.
- 03
Incorporation & notarisation
We draft the memorandum and articles of association, and notarise powers of attorney and contracts through the notary public and electronic notarisation.
- 04
Ready to operate
Employment contracts, internal regulations, and supply and distribution agreements, so your business starts compliant from day one.
- 05
Ongoing partnership
Regular advice, regulatory compliance, and representation that protects your investment whenever you need it.
Every decision you make today has legal consequences tomorrow.
