Allows an existing international company to operate in Saudi Arabia without forming a separate legal entity. Must be registered with CR and may require MISA approval depending on activity. The branch is fully tied to the parent company’s liability.

A larger corporate structure suitable for high-capital investments and public trading. Requires significant paid-up capital and registration with the Ministry of Commerce. Can be public or closed and governed under Saudi corporate law.
General partnership
Formed by two or more partners who share full liability. Registered with the CR, it is suitable for small to medium businesses where all partners actively manage operations.

Expanding an existing foreign company in Saudi Arabia
Foreign companies that want to expand into Saudi Arabia can open a branch office or a subsidiary. First, they must get a Foreign Investment License from the Ministry of Investment (MISA). After this, they need to submit their Commercial Registration and financial statements from their home country. These documents must be attested and correct.
Next, the company must register with the Ministry of Commerce and other government bodies. This includes Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) and the General Organization for Social Insurance (GOSI). The company also needs to appoint a local General Manager, as this is required in Saudi Arabia.
After registration, the company must open a corporate bank account and arrange a physical office address in the Kingdom. Many business sectors allow 100 percent foreign ownership if the right approvals are in place. The process is designed to make market entry easier, but all documents and rules must be followed carefully to ensure a smooth and successful setup.
Expanding an existing business to Saudi Arabia owned by GCC citizens
It is easier for businesses that are fully owned by GCC nationals to enter the Saudi market. These businesses can set up a branch office or a subsidiary, depending on their business needs and future plans. They must submit their commercial registration and other required documents, and these documents must be attested by the relevant authorities.
After this, the business needs to register with Saudi government authorities and follow local rules. This includes Saudization requirements and tax regulations. A foreign investment license is not needed for GCC nationals, which makes the process faster and simpler compared to other foreign companies.
Because of this easier process, GCC-owned businesses can start operations in Saudi Arabia in less time. They face fewer approval steps and lower paperwork requirements. This helps companies enter the market smoothly, focus on growth, and start serving customers quickly while staying fully compliant with Saudi laws.
