- Saudi Experts
Your Corporate Services Partner in the Kingdom
At Gatestone Group, we support foreign-owned companies across the full life of their Saudi entity, not only at formation. Our Riyadh presence covers licensing, corporate banking, tax registration and filing, government relations, and residency, delivered by one team working from one set of records. Investors who are setting up a company in Saudi for the first time get the activity, structure, and licensing route settled before any filing goes in, which is what keeps the rest of the timeline predictable and stops an approved licence needing an amendment three months later. The same review flags where a sector regulator’s approval, a capital requirement, or a Saudisation quota will apply, so none of those arrive as a surprise mid-file.
Market entry rarely fails on one large decision. It slows on small ones taken in the wrong order, such as reserving a name before the activity is confirmed, or approaching a bank before the tax registrations exist. Bringing in full-service business consultants in Saudi means those dependencies are mapped once at the start and carried through to banking, residency, and annual compliance.

Our Core Services in Saudi Arabia
Company Formation in Saudi Arabia
Establish your legal entity under Saudi law, covering activity selection, the choice between an LLC, a branch, or a joint stock company, investment licensing where foreign ownership applies, name reservation, Commercial Registration, and the Chamber of Commerce, MHRSD, and GOSI registrations that follow.
Tax Services in Saudi Arabia
Foreign and Saudi-owned entities are assessed differently, while mixed ownership may involve both zakat and corporate income tax. A KSA taxation advisory firm helps align ZATCA registration, e-invoicing, and filing with your licence, while confirming withholding tax before overseas payments. VAT filing frequency depends on turnover thresholds.
Corporate Banking in Saudi Arabia
Saudi banks assess the business, not just its documents, and want clarity on expected account activity. Our Saudi corporate banking support covers key requirements, including the board resolution, General Manager Iqama, national address, and ZATCA certificate, ensuring a complete application. We also confirm signatory attendance and required documents in advance.
GRO Services in Saudi Arabia
Documents issued outside the Kingdom usually need Saudi embassy legalisation, a step often underestimated when setting launch dates. Ongoing government liaison services keep records current, handling renewals, amendments, establishment card updates, and portal submissions before deadlines. An outsourced team also keeps portal knowledge with the file rather than one employee.
Iqama and Premium Residency
Residence permits involve work visas, medicals, biometrics, and Jawazat, with dependent sponsorship for families. The general manager needs a valid Iqama before the bank completes the mandate. Qualifying investors and specialists may also apply for Saudi premium residency, allowing self-sponsorship independent of an employer. Renewals follow the permit cycle, not the company licence year.
Licensing and Company Structure
Choosing the licence determines what you can invoice for. Saudi activity classification is granular, and similar businesses may have different codes, ownership rules, and capital thresholds. Consultancies, agencies, and engineering firms typically use a service licence in KSA, with specific qualification and Saudisation requirements confirmed before filing.
