LLC Formation
The default Saudi entity.
An LLC is what most foreign founders need. Capital from SAR 100,000, 100% foreign ownership, lower setup complexity than a JSC, full operational rights, and bank-account-friendly structure. We deliver the complete package — MISA + CR + Articles of Association + ZATCA, GOSI, VAT registrations — in 10–15 days.

Honest answers — not the sales version.
Most activity codes require SAR 100,000 minimum capital. Some specific activities (engineering consultancy, real estate brokerage, etc.) require higher thresholds. Capital must be deposited but is not locked — you can use it for operations once CR issues.
Yes. Saudi law allows single-shareholder LLCs (شركة ذات مسؤولية محدودة لشخص واحد) with the same SAR 100K minimum capital. Common for solo founders or holding-company subsidiaries.
10–15 working days from signed engagement to issued CR, assuming complete documentation. Document prep (apostille + MoFA chain) is the most time-variable step.
No. Under MISA's investor license framework, foreign founders can hold 100% of a Saudi LLC across most activity codes. Local partners are needed only for specific carve-outs (some retail subsectors, defense, etc.).
An LLC is a separate legal entity with its own liability. A Branch is an extension of the parent company — parent guarantees obligations. LLCs are better for most operational businesses; branches make sense for established multinationals testing the market.
