Saudi Arabia

Corporation Types

Saudi Arabia is increasingly open to foreigners, offering easier business setup and relocation, visa on arrival for many Europeans, and significant investments in sports, entertainment, and retail, creating a positive, foreigner-friendly living experience.

Branch of a Foreign Company

For small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to expand into Saudi Arabia, opening a branch office is the preferred and recommended approach.

Notably, to establish a branch office in Saudi Arabia, there is no requirement for a local sponsor or participant. This makes it a more straightforward option for foreign companies entering the Saudi market.

Regional Headquarters (RHQ)

The Regional Headquarters (RHQ) structure is specifically designed for foreign companies entering the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) that have two or more subsidiaries or branches in at least two different countries outside of Saudi Arabia.

This structure is a requirement for such international companies to establish their presence in the KSA effectively, facilitating the management and coordination of their regional operations and activities.

Limited Liability Company (LLC)

A Limited Liability Company (LLC) is an appropriate business structure for companies that have between two and fifty shareholders. In an LLC, current partners have the first right of refusal in situations where any shareholder decides to assign, transfer, or sell their stake in the company.

This provision ensures that existing partners have the opportunity to maintain control over the company's ownership.

Technical and Scientific Services Office (TSSO)

A Technical and Scientific Services Office (TSSO) is commonly utilized in scenarios where a foreign company has a commercial agency distribution agreement with a local Saudi distributor. This arrangement grants the local distributor the rights to distribute products or services in the Saudi market.

The TSSO serves as a liaison or support office, focusing on technical and scientific aspects related to the products or services being distributed under the agreement.

Joint Stock Company (JSC)

A Joint Stock Company (JSC) is recommended for private entities that have a large number of shareholders. This business structure offers the flexibility to issue sophisticated debt and equity instruments, which can include options like preferred stock and different classes of shares.

The JSC format is particularly suited to accommodate the complexities and requirements of companies with a diverse and extensive shareholder base.
