Step 1
Select one option that best fits your business.
The nature of the investor determines whether pre-registration with the Ministry of Investment (MISA) is required, the types of business activities permitted, and whether minimum capital requirements apply. It also affects your company’s tax treatment (Zakat vs. Corporate Income Tax), Saudization obligations, and post-registration compliance steps.
All shareholders are citizens of GCC countries (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman), or companies fully owned by such citizens. MISA registration is not required before proceeding with company formation.
You are a non-GCC individual planning to set up a business in your personal capacity. You must first register with MISA before proceeding with company formation.
A foreign parent company (not owned by GCC nationals) is registering a branch or subsidiary in Saudi Arabia. MISA registration is required before incorporation steps can begin.
