We offer flat-fee, end-to-end packages with no hidden costs. If incorporation isn’t possible, your deposit is refunded in full.
With major reforms underway under Vision 2030, this is the best moment to enter the Saudi market. The government is actively supporting international entrepreneurs, streamlining company setup, and opening doors across key industries like tech, logistics, and consulting.
Need residency? We also assist with Investor Visas and help you navigate the full process, including Muqeem registration, digital certificates, and local insurance. Whether you need a local presence or a remote holding structure, we will help you build a company that’s ready for growth, and will allow you to grow along with us.

Why choose Incwell to set up in Saudi Arabia?
We provide a full-package service through our TRADE 100% structure, offering end-to-end incorporation, document preparation, Arabic legal translation, visa support, and compliance setup. Saudi Arabia is where Dubai was 15 years ago — growing fast, with real demand and massive opportunities. We help international businesses enter this market with confidence and clarity.
What are the steps to form a company in Saudi Arabia?
- Your mother company must be at least 1 year old, with €25,000+ in turnover and up-to-date financials.
- We gather your documents and translate them into Arabic.
- We submit your application to MISA (Ministry of Investment) for foreign license approval.

Can I incorporate remotely?
Yes, most of the process can be completed remotely via Power of Attorney. However, if you need an investor visa, biometric registration and bank presence may be required in-person. We'll walk you through exactly what’s needed.
Do I need a Saudi partner?
No. Under MISA, 100% foreign ownership is allowed in most industries. Saudi Arabia wants real businesses — companies that truly operate in the Kingdom — and encourages full foreign entry where regulations allow.
Will I receive a VAT or tax number?
Yes. Your company receives a tax ID and must register for VAT if applicable. The VAT rate in Saudi Arabia is 15%, and corporate tax applies on full profits. An annual audit is mandatory.
Can I open a bank account?
Yes, we support corporate bank account setup. Presence in the Kingdom is often required for KYC. Once your commercial registration and tax ID are active, we guide you through banking options based on your company’s activity.
What are the ongoing obligations?
Saudi Arabia requires active companies. You must file taxes on annual profit, submit audited financials, and maintain payroll compliance. Payroll can be processed through the Mudad portal or directly through your bank. We work with trusted local partners to ensure compliance.
