LLC Formation (Limited Liability Company)

LLC Formation (Limited Liability Company)

The process of incorporating a Limited Liability Company in Saudi Arabia — the most common structure for foreign investment.

A Limited Liability Company (LLC) is the most widely used legal entity structure for foreign businesses entering Saudi Arabia. LLCs require a minimum of two shareholders and must obtain a MISA foreign investment license before Commercial Registration. Foreign ownership of up to 100% is permitted in most sectors under Vision 2030 liberalization. Shareholders' liability is limited to their capital contribution. Post-incorporation, the LLC must register with GOSI, ZATCA (for VAT/Zakat) and activate Qiwa and Muqeem portals before hiring employees. Inclusive Solutions manages the complete LLC formation process from MISA license application through post-incorporation compliance activation.
