What We Do
Expanding into the Middle East requires local regulatory precision and global operational agility. We provide international founders, multinationals, and foreign investors with a turnkey gateway to launch, license, and scale commercial entities across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan—entirely remote from anywhere in the world.
From navigating MISA investment licensing in Riyadh to establishing specialized free zone entities in Amman, our corporate structuring specialists handle statutory compliance, government relations, and corporate governance end-to-end.

Discover New Potentials
Saudi Arabia
Jordan
Direct access to the GCC's largest economy, Vision 2030 giga-projects, and RHQ incentives.
Advantages in the Saudi market
Saudi Arabia offers a fast-growing, highly strategic market driven by sweeping economic reforms and major government
Direct Access to the GCC's Largest Economy & Giga-Projects
Saudi Arabia represents the largest consumer and business market in the region, driven by Vision 2030 initiatives, public procurement pipelines, and massive infrastructure developments (such as NEOM, the Red Sea Project, and Qiddiya). Operating with a local commercial registration (CR) and investment license is essential to bid directly on high-value government tenders, state-owned enterprise (PIF) contracts, and supply chains.
100% Foreign Ownership via MISA
International investors and founders can establish and fully own limited liability companies (LLCs) or foreign branch offices across most commercial, technical, and service sectors through the Ministry of Investment (MISA). This eliminates the historic requirement for a local sponsor or majority domestic partner, allowing full operational control, equity retention, and 100% profit repatriation.
Targeted Tax Incentives & Regional Strategic Positioning
The Kingdom offers aggressive incentives to attract foreign direct investment, including major tax breaks for multinational regional headquarters (RHQ 30-year tax holiday), zero personal income tax, and competitive corporate tax structures. Establishing a licensed entity secures an operational base in a central logistical hub connecting the GCC, Levant, and North Africa.
Advantages in the Jordanian market
Under Jordan's Investment Environment Law, foreign entrepreneurs can hold 100% ownership of their business across most commercial, industrial, IT, and service sectors without needing a local partner or sponsor. Registering a licensed company also provides:
100% Foreign Ownership and Residency Rights
Under Jordan's Investment Environment Law, foreign entrepreneurs can hold 100% ownership of their business across most commercial, industrial, IT, and service sectors without needing a local partner or sponsor. Registering a licensed company also provides:
Duty-Free Global Market Access via Free Trade Agreements
Jordan maintains one of the most comprehensive trade agreement networks in the Middle East. A formally registered Jordanian entity qualifies for:Preferential & Duty-Free Exporting: Zero-tariff or reduced-tariff access to major global markets through bilateral agreements, notably the US–Jordan Free Trade Agreement (FTA), the EU Association Agreement, and the Greater Arab Free Trade Area (GAFTA). Regional Logistics Bridge: Strategic positioning linking the GCC, Levant, and North African supply chains.
Attractive Tax Incentives and Zone-Specific Breaks
A properly licensed company can significantly optimize operational and corporate overhead through structured incentives:Special Economic & Free Zones (e.g., ASEZA, Zarqa Free Zone): Qualifying companies operating in these zones enjoy corporate income tax (CIT) rates reduced to 5%, complete exemptions on customs duties for imported machinery and raw materials, and 0% sales tax on exports. Currency & Financial Stability: The Jordanian Dinar (JOD) is pegged to the US Dollar ($1 \approx 0.709\text{ JOD}$), providing foreign owners with long-term macroeconomic predictability for operational costs, budgeting, and commercial contracts.
Can foreign nationals hold 100% company ownership in Saudi Arabia and Jordan?
Yes. In Saudi Arabia, foreign investors can secure 100% foreign ownership across most commercial, industrial, and service activities by obtaining an investment license from the Ministry of Investment of Saudi Arabia (MISA). In Jordan, the Investment Environment Law allows foreign entrepreneurs to hold 100% ownership in manufacturing, ICT, tourism, logistics, and standard services registered through the Ministry of Investment (MoIn). Only limited activities involving strategic national defense, security, or specific local trading/transport sectors maintain local shareholding requirements.
What is the difference between setting up under MISA in KSA versus the Ministry of Investment in Jordan?
Saudi Arabia (MISA): Requires international corporate documentation (board resolutions, audited financials, apostilled certificate of incorporation) before issuing a MISA Foreign Investment License. Once approved, the business registers with the Ministry of Commerce (MC) to receive a Commercial Registration (CR).
Jordan (MoIn): Corporate formation runs directly through the Ministry of Investment and the Companies Control Department (CCD) under the Ministry of Industry, Trade, and Supply. Jordan provides an integrated, one-stop investment platform to register Limited Liability Companies (W.L.L.) and branches of foreign entities.
How long does company incorporation take from document submission to full operation?
Saudi Arabia: Typically 2 to 4 weeks once all foreign documents are legalized and translated. Obtaining the MISA investment license takes roughly 3 to 7 working days, followed by Commercial Registration issuance, Chamber of Commerce membership, tax enrollment (ZATCA), and Qiwa/Muqeem portal setup for employee visas.
Jordan: Typically 5 to 10 working days once attested powers of attorney and parent files are in hand. CCD approval, capital deposit verification, municipal trade licensing (Vocational License from Greater Amman Municipality), and Social Security Corporation (SSC) registration are finalized rapidly via the investment window.
What are the minimum paid-up share capital requirements for an LLC (W.L.L.) in both countries?
Saudi Arabia: Under the Saudi Companies Law, most standard Limited Liability Companies do not require a prohibitive mandatory minimum capital deposit (often set nominally at SAR 10,000 to SAR 25,000 in corporate bylaws), though specialized commercial trading, real estate, and financial activities may mandate higher capitalized reserves vetted by MISA.
Jordan: Standard Jordanian Limited Liability Companies (LLC / W.L.L.) require a minimum capital of just JOD 1 under current company legislation, making initial entity formation highly capital-efficient, provided operational cash flow meets municipal and ministry licensing benchmarks.
How do PRO and visa processing services differ between Riyadh and Amman?
Saudi Arabia (KSA): Corporate PRO (Public Relations Officer) workflows are digital-first, executed via platforms including Qiwa (labor quotas & Saudization/Nitaqat compliance), Muqeem (Iqama issuance & exit/re-entry visas), and Absher Business. PRO agents manage company file activation, local address registration (National Address / SPL), and labor audit clearances.
Jordan: PRO support requires coordination with the Ministry of Interior (MOI), the Ministry of Labor, and the Social Security Corporation for expatriate residency, security clearances, and work permit approvals, alongside annual vocational license renewals with local municipal departments.
