In brief

  • Tasis Partners supports foreign entrepreneurs in Saudi Arabia 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.
  • We coordinate and file online applications; a non-resident trademark filing goes through a SAIP-licensed agent, and official translations through a certified translator.

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 groups them into one proposal with a shared timeline, one contact and a weekly written update. 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, government fees (MISA, Ministry of Commerce, SAIP) are passed through at cost with receipts. See how we charge.

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: a non-resident applicant files through a SAIP-licensed agent.

What is the formation + trademark + VAT bundle?

A single proposal covering company formation, trademark filing with SAIP and VAT registration with ZATCA, with a shared timeline and one point of contact.

Are you a law firm or an accounting firm?

No. Tasis Partners is a private coordination service. Regulated acts go to licensed partners, and we refer you to a lawyer or accountant when your situation calls for legal or tax advice.

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; we prepare those appointments in advance.

Do you guarantee approvals?

No. Decisions belong to MISA, the Ministry of Commerce, SAIP, ZATCA and the banks. We commit to the quality of the file, response times and follow-up, not to a third party's decision.
