GoldenKey helps UAE residents and international founders register a Limited Liability Company under a MISA foreign investment licence in Saudi Arabia through the Ministry of Investment (MISA) and Ministry of Commerce. the UAE is Germany's most important trading partner in the Arab world and a regional distribution base for German industry, which gives German entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Saudi Arabia licence is issued. The most common businesses Germans open through GoldenKey are in engineering, industrial machinery, automotive and renewable energy, although Saudi Arabia supports almost any activity.

On the ground, each serves different markets. GoldenKey usually recommends the UAE as the operating base and Saudi Arabia where you have customers, suppliers or treaty benefits there.

Annual returns, accounts and tax filings vary by jurisdiction; GoldenKey provides a compliance calendar and local accounting support.
Do I need to travel to Saudi Arabia to incorporate?
Just as important, in most cases no. Incorporation is handled by our local partner under a power of attorney. Some banks in Saudi Arabia require a video or in-person meeting.

Yes. Germans can own the full share capital of a Saudi Arabia company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
