Saudi Arabia is working on diversification and the expansion of the private sector as it swiftly transforms its national economy under the guidance of Vision 2030. As a result of this change, Saudi Arabia has created Special Economic Zones (SEZs), an effort that provides unmatched benefits to companies that are entirely foreign-owned and wish to establish operations in the Kingdom. Gatestone Group is here to assist you with comprehensive business setup solutions in the Special Economic Zones in the Kingdom. Contact our professional business setup consultants to get started.
