Start by describing your activity
Determine the services or products you will provide, who you will target, and how you will work within the Kingdom. A precise description helps discuss the route and requirements associated with the activity.
Clarify your investor position
Do you have an existing company outside the Kingdom? Who will participate in the new activity? Prepare information about ownership, management, and the relationship between your current business and expansion plans.
Discuss the form of expansion
Establishing a new company and opening a branch of an existing company are two options that need to be reviewed for suitability in your case. Ask about the new entity's relationship with the parent company, management, and limits of responsibilities before choosing a path.
Arrange registration and incorporation
The Ministry of Investment provides channels for investment registration, and the Ministry of Commerce offers company establishment services through the Saudi Business Center. Review the activity and investment status requirements before arranging the order of applications.

Separate the start-up budget from the operating budget. Discuss the headquarters, team, account management, and periodic follow-up, and define the responsibility of each party and what the service offer includes.
