Regional Headquarters (RHQ) Setup in Saudi Arabia
Vision 2030 requires major multinationals to relocate MENA HQ to Riyadh. We make RHQ setup seamless, fast, and fully compliant.
Overview
Saudi Arabia's RHQ program mandates that major multinationals operating in the Kingdom establish their regional headquarters in Riyadh. Companies with RHQ status gain priority government contract access, exclusive incentives, and a 30-year tax holiday on the RHQ entity. Noble Core KSA specializes in RHQ setup, having assisted dozens of global companies through this complex but rewarding process.
