MISA Investor License
Your Saudi gateway.
The MISA license — issued by the Ministry of Investment of Saudi Arabia — is the foundational permission for foreign-owned companies to operate in the Kingdom. Without it, no LLC, no branch, no JSC. We file MISA applications in Arabic, sit with the desk, clear queries same-day, and deliver your license in 7–14 working days.

Yes. We start the application with apostilled parent corporate documents shipped to us. No travel needed for license issuance. You only visit Saudi for GM Iqama issuance (around day 25-30) and bank account opening signature.
95%+ of activity codes are eligible for 100% foreign ownership. Exclusions include oil exploration, certain retail subsectors, military, and some healthcare specialties. We flag eligibility before quoting — no surprises.
Sometimes. We can compress document prep + submission cycle by 30-40% with rush fees of SAR 8,000 surcharge. Discuss in discovery call. MISA itself doesn't have an official expedite track but our preparation reduces queries.
MISA is the investment permission — it gives a foreign founder the right to OWN a Saudi company. CR is the commercial registration — it gives the company the right to trade. You need both. We bundle them.
