Setting up a business in Saudi Arabia is a milestone, but staying compliant is where many fail. Shockingly, over 60% of foreign-owned companies in the Kingdom operate without complete or correct documentation.
Here are 3 major compliance mistakes that could put your operations at risk:
Wrong Commercial Activity Code:
Many businesses apply for licenses under incorrect or vague activity codes, which can result in revoked commercial registrations (CRs) and legal penalties.
Saudization Non-Compliance:
Failure to meet Nitaqat Saudization quotas can result in visa rejections and suspension of work permit services. These quotas are mandatory, and failure to comply stalls your workforce.
Expired Iqamas & Work Permits:
Letting Iqamas or work permits expire—even unintentionally—can trigger business freezes, affect employee legal status, and damage your brand reputation.
