Company Formation

Company formation in Saudi Arabia spans MISA licensing, commercial registration (Sijil Tijari), articles of association, municipal permits, and sector-specific approvals. Ibtdara handles the full chain so you launch with a compliant, bank-ready entity.

- End-to-End Registration

We coordinate Ministry of Investment license issuance, Ministry of Commerce commercial registration, and drafting of articles of association with protective clauses for partner disputes. Your shares remain protected until you voluntarily approve any transfer — critical when choosing business partners.

One commercial registration can host multiple business activities — restaurants, schools, e-commerce, and consulting can operate under a single company with separate sector permits. You do not need a new company for each venture, though each activity needs its own municipal or ministry approval.

- General Manager Exception

The General Manager profession is normally reserved for Saudi nationals on Qiwa, but company owners can obtain a manual exception through Ministry of Investment. Ibtdara successfully secures this exception so owners can hold both ownership and GM profession on their iqama.

This matters for banking, government portals, and signing authority. Without the exception, you may need a Saudi national listed as GM even though you own 100% of shares.

- Banking and Compliance

After registration, we guide corporate bank account opening, VAT registration where applicable, Qiwa setup for Saudization tracking, and Nitaqat visa quota calculation. Manufacturing entities enjoy reduced iqama fees of SAR 100 annually versus SAR 9,700 for most activities.
