Learn more →The Regional HQ moment is now.
Since January 2024, the Saudi government gives procurement preference to companies with their regional HQ inside the Kingdom. We've structured RHQ entities for groups operating in 14 countries, and we know the eligibility traps competitors don't talk about.
Most consultancies miss these:
- Eligibility carve-outs for FDI manufacturing
- The 15-employee rule (with Saudization layered)
- Strategic functions vs auxiliary: real definitions
- Group structures that pre-qualify (and which don't)
- Procurement override clauses for non-RHQ bidders
Real numbers. No 'request a quote.'
Most KSA consultancies hide pricing behind a form. We don't. Three tiers, all-in. Beat any like-for-like Arnifi quote or your first month is on us.

Saudization, before it bites.
Nitaqat thresholds change by sector and headcount band. Foreign-owned firms hit the wall fast. Our calculator tells you, before you hire, what your minimum Saudi headcount needs to be in 6 / 12 / 24 months, and what it costs.

The honest answers. Not the sales-page version.
Yes, across most sectors. MISA's investor license enables full foreign ownership for over 95% of activity codes. The exceptions (oil exploration, some retail subsectors, military) are clearly listed and we'll flag them in your discovery call.
LLC: SAR 100,000 (most activities). JSC: SAR 500,000. VAT registration becomes mandatory at SAR 375K turnover. Capital must be deposited but is not locked. You can use it for operations once CR issues.
No. We start the MISA application remotely with your apostilled corporate documents. You'll need a Saudi visit at GM Iqama issuance (around day 25–30) and again for the bank account opening signature.
Arnifi is the only competitor publishing transparent prices, and we beat their entry tier by SAR 3,800. AstroLabs is excellent for enterprise (Aramco-level clients) but doesn't price publicly. We sit between: published prices, mid-market pricing, enterprise-grade execution.
Yes. PRO retainer (SAR 1,999/mo), VAT/Zakat filings, payroll/GOSI, annual maintenance and renewals. We don't disappear after the CR issues. The same account manager stays with you.
