What we do

Start your company formation in Saudi Arabia

Limited Liability Company

Form a company with limited liability protecting shareholders from personal liability.

A Limited Liability Company is the primary vehicle for private businesses in Saudi Arabia. It offers a robust legal framework, limited liability for shareholders, and compatibility with a wide range of commercial and industrial activities.

For foreign investors, an LLC is typically established under a foreign investment license issued by the Ministry of Investment of Saudi Arabia (MISA), then registered with the Ministry of Commerce and other relevant authorities.

GBG assists in aligning your planned activities with licensing requirements, structuring the ownership and capital, preparing incorporation documents, and handling the many registrations and post-formation steps necessary to make the company fully operational.

Single-Shareholder Limited Liability Company

A limited liability company owned by a single individual, giving full control.

A Single-Shareholder LLC is an LLC owned entirely by one shareholder, whether an individual or a corporate entity. It provides full control to a single owner while preserving the benefits of limited liability and the formal Saudi corporate framework.

This structure is particularly attractive to international groups setting up wholly owned subsidiaries or to entrepreneurs implementing a clear, one-person ownership model.

GBG guides you through the licensing, incorporation, and internal governance design, ensuring that the structure is aligned with both Saudi regulations and your regional or global corporate policies.

Branch of a Foreign Company

Establish your foreign company’s branch to operate under Saudi jurisdiction.

A Branch of a Foreign Company allows a non-Saudi entity to operate in the Kingdom directly under its own name after obtaining a foreign investment license from MISA.

The branch is not a separate legal entity; the foreign parent remains responsible for its obligations. This route is commonly used in sectors such as contracting, engineering, and specialised services where clients require direct engagement with the foreign company.

Foreign Investment License and Investor Residency

Obtain your investment license through the Ministry of Investment (MISA) along with residency permits for investors.

A Foreign Investment License from MISA is the gateway for non-Saudi investors to own and operate companies or branches in the Kingdom. In many cases, investors will combine the investment license with residency solutions tailored for investors and key executives.

This pathway is ideal for investors who want both a solid legal presence and a medium- to long-term stay in Saudi Arabia connected to their business activity.

GBG helps you define the appropriate legal form (LLC or branch), prepare and file the investment license application, coordinate with professionals on tax and regulatory aspects, and integrate investor or manager residency solutions so that the commercial and personal sides of your move are aligned under one plan.
