http://www.expatriates.com/classifieds/olaya/legal/index.xml http://www.expatriates.com/cls/63405265.html Establishing a business in Saudi Arabia requires navigating specific regulatory frameworks. Based on current requirements, we
offer two primary pathways for international investors:
Feature Service License Trading License
Primary

registered and active in any
country outside of Saudi
Arabia.

Best For Consultancy, IT,
Professional Services, and
Logistics.

Wholesale distribution.
1. Phase One: International Parent Company Setup
Before applying in Saudi Arabia, you must have an existing international footprint. We handle this entire process:
●
●
For a Service License:
○
We will register one (1) parent company for you in any suitable international jurisdiction.
○
Once registered, this company acts as the "Mother Company" for your Saudi branch.
For a Trading License:
○
We will register three (3) separate companies for you in three different countries (including the UK and
USA).
○
This fulfills the specific Saudi requirement of having an established presence in three different global
markets before trading.
Understood. I have updated the proposal to include all the specific mandatory portals and registrations you
mentioned—including SPL (National Address), ZATCA, and the Employee Insurance requirements.
This version is more detailed and shows that you handle the entire professional setup.
