A commercial registration is not the finish line. Depending on what you actually do, your Saudi entity may also need a municipal license through Balady, Chamber of Commerce activation, ZATCA registration, and sector approvals — SFDA for food and health products, CST for IT and communications, Ministry of Tourism for hospitality, and others. Two businesses that look similar on paper can need very different permit stacks. We map yours precisely and obtain every layer.
What's Included
- Activity mapping: aligning what you do with the correct ISIC activity codes on your CR
- MISA license type selection and amendments (service, trading, industrial, entrepreneur)
- Municipal license through the Balady platform, including signage permits where applicable
- Chamber of Commerce certificates and e-services activation
- ZATCA registration, including VAT registration once you reach the threshold
- Sector regulator approvals (SFDA, CST, Ministry of Tourism, and others) where your activity requires them
- A renewal calendar covering every license, so nothing lapses
The Process
- Licensing audit. We review your CR, MISA license, and actual operations to find gaps or mismatched activity codes (2–3 business days).
- Gap plan. You receive a written list of required permits, documents, and government fee estimates before we file anything (2–4 business days).
- Filings. We submit to each authority — many run in parallel (typically 1–4 weeks per permit, varies by sector and municipality).
- Inspections. Where the municipality or a regulator inspects premises, we prepare you and attend where permitted (timing varies by city).
- Handover. You get the complete license file plus a renewal calendar with owner and deadline for each item.
Documents You'll Need
- Commercial registration and MISA license
- Lease contract registered on Ejar, and your national address
- IDs or iqamas of the manager in charge
- Activity-specific documents (product lists for SFDA, service descriptions for CST, and similar)
If you are not sure which permits your activity actually needs, that is exactly what the free consultation is for: bring your CR, and we will map the full requirement stack before you spend anything. Licensing rules also evolve quickly under Vision 2030 — a permit stack that was correct last year can need updating at the next renewal, so we recheck the requirements at every cycle.
