What types of companies can be established in Saudi Arabia?
+
The Saudi Companies Law permits the establishment of several legal forms, most notably: limited liability companies, closed joint-stock companies, public joint-stock companies, general partnerships, limited partnerships, and professional companies. Our team determines the most appropriate form based on the nature of your business, the number of partners, and your expansion objectives.
What is the difference between corporate restructuring and changing the legal form?
+
Restructuring involves modifying a company's internal structure — such as equity distribution and management authorities — without changing its legal form. Converting the legal form, on the other hand, means entirely changing the type of entity, such as converting a sole proprietorship into a limited liability company.
Can a foreign investor establish a company with 100% ownership in Saudi Arabia?
+
Yes. The foreign investment regulations permit full 100% foreign ownership in many sectors, with exceptions in certain specified sectors. We provide detailed advisory on the available sectors and the requirements involved.
What are the corporate governance requirements in Saudi Arabia?
+
Governance requirements vary by company type. Listed companies are subject to the Capital Market Authority's requirements, while closed companies are governed by the Companies Law and its regulations. We help you design a governance framework suited to your company's size and stage of development.
How long does the company formation process take in Saudi Arabia?
+
The formation of a limited liability company typically takes one to two weeks once all documents are complete. The timeline may be longer for foreign companies or projects requiring additional sector-specific approvals.
Do you provide post-formation services?
+
Yes. We provide ongoing legal support that includes contract review, updating governance documents, representing the company in disputes, and continuous compliance with evolving regulatory requirements.
