Foreign Company Registration Options
in Saudi Arabia

Setting up a subsidiary under an LLC allows the parent company to operate independently in Saudi Arabia with complete control. Arab Dreams ensures a smooth registration process from start to finish.

Limited Liability One-Person Company

Ideal for single investors looking to establish a wholly-owned business, this entity offers the same benefits as an LLC with streamlined management. We assist in every step of the process.

Branch of a Foreign Company

A branch office allows foreign businesses to operate directly in the Kingdom without establishing a separate legal entity. It mirrors the parent company’s operations, providing a seamless entry into the market. Arab Dreams simplifies branch setup with comprehensive guidance and legal support.

Regional Headquarters (RHQ)

Saudi Arabia offers incentives for companies establishing their RHQ to oversee regional operations. This setup is ideal for organizations seeking centralized management in the Middle East. Arab Dreams facilitates the entire RHQ setup with expert insights and end-to-end assistance.

Joint-Stock Company (JSC)

JSCs allow both public and private ownership, making them suitable for larger ventures aiming to raise capital. Arab Dreams offers guidance on structuring and registering your JSC.
