Establishment and Structuring

Establishment and structuring counsel at A-NH & Partners guides domestic and international investors through MISA licensing, Special Economic Zone setup, and Saudization labor compliance.

Guiding investors through MISA licensing, the Regional Headquarters (RHQ) program, Special Economic Zones, and MHRSD labor rules.

Entering the Saudi market requires strategic structuring under foreign investment rules. We guide multinational corporations through obtaining Ministry of Investment (MISA) licenses, selecting the appropriate corporate structure, and fulfilling the requirements of the Regional Headquarters (RHQ) Program to secure eligibility for Saudi government contracts.

We guide clients in establishing operations in Special Economic Zones (SEZs) and free zones (such as ILSZ and zones under ECZA) to leverage benefits like corporate tax exemptions, customs duties suspension, and relaxed Saudization ratios.

To ensure operational compliance, we advise on labor regulations governed by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (MHRSD), including Nitaqat (Saudization) targets, QIWA platform registrations, GOSI contributions, and drafting local content-aligned employment contracts.
