Government fees + professional services + first-year compliance.

About this estimate. Figures are indicative 2026 ranges for foreign-investor company formation in Saudi Arabia, covering government fees (MISA, Ministry of Commerce, Chamber, notarization), professional services, and first-year compliance. They exclude share capital (where applicable), office rent, employee salaries, and sector-specific regulatory fees that vary by case. Trading activities have historically required substantial share capital for 100% foreign ownership — this is held separately in the company bank account, not paid as a fee. A binding quote is provided after a free discovery consultation with our advisory team.
