Overview

A Single Proprietorship Company allows GCC nationals to establish a business in their name, giving them complete control over the operations and profits. It is a straightforward business structure, ideal for small businesses and individual entrepreneurs. Unlike other company types, a single proprietorship company does not offer limited liability, meaning the owner is personally responsible for all business liabilities. However, it offers simplicity in management and flexibility in operations.
