The Saudi Ministry of Commerce has taken a significant step in facilitating the establishment of foreign business presences within the kingdom by offering a suite of online services. These services are designed to assist overseas companies in launching their regional headquarters after securing the necessary permits from the Ministry of Investment.
The range of online offerings includes the creation of a regional headquarters as a branch of a foreign entity, the formation of a regional headquarters as an independent foreign company, and the issuance, modification, and renewal of commercial registers. Additionally, the services cover the reservation of commercial names.
Interested businesses can access these services through the ministry’s digital portal at e.mc.gov.sa. The services are also available via the Saudi Business Center platform at business.sa, ensuring a streamlined and user-friendly process.
