In brief

  • Tasis Partners supports foreign entrepreneurs across seven services: company formation, MISA investment registration, trademark filing, VAT registration, premium residency, corporate bank account support, and the general manager's visa and iqama.
  • Under the revised Investment Law in force since February 2025, a foreign investor obtains an investment registration certificate from MISA before registering the company with the Ministry of Commerce.
  • Our formation + trademark + VAT bundle covers the three procedures a foreign-owned company almost always needs in its first year.
  • Every engagement starts with a free scoping, then a written quote, followed by a written progress update every week.

Our business setup services

Each card leads to a detailed guide: steps, documents, sourced government fees and timelines.

The formation + trademark + VAT bundle

A foreign company entering Saudi Arabia almost always handles three procedures in year one: forming the company, protecting its name and logo, and registering for VAT once it invoices. They depend on each other: the trade name reserved at the commercial registry should match the trademark, and ZATCA registration requires an issued CR.

The bundle puts them on one shared timeline, with a weekly written update from us. The trademark filing can start on day one, alongside company formation, so that a name conflict does not surface too late.

As with every service, the quote is written and fixed-price: it states what is included, government fees included (MISA, Ministry of Commerce, SAIP). See fees.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a Saudi partner or sponsor to set up a company?

Not for most activities. A foreign investor can own 100% of a Saudi company once MISA has issued the investment registration certificate. Some activities remain restricted or conditional, which is what the eligibility check is for.

Can I use just one service, such as trademark registration?

Yes. Every service can be taken on its own. A trademark filing in particular does not require a Saudi company.

What is the formation + trademark + VAT bundle?

One track covering company formation, trademark filing with SAIP and VAT registration with ZATCA, with a shared timeline and our follow-up throughout.

Are you a law firm or an accounting firm?

No. Tasis Partners is a private business setup support service: we scope, coordinate and follow up. When your situation calls for legal or tax advice, we point you to a lawyer or accountant.

Will I need to travel to Saudi Arabia?

Much of the process runs online and by power of attorney. Opening the bank account and the general manager's residence permit usually require being in the Kingdom; those appointments are prepared in advance.

Do you guarantee approvals?

No. Decisions belong to MISA, the Ministry of Commerce, SAIP, ZATCA and the banks. We commit to scoping, replying quickly and following up, not to a third party's decision.
