Client Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Common inquiries regarding power of attorney, remote company setup, banking timelines, and retainer scope.

Can a foreign company complete company formation in Saudi Arabia remotely?▼
Yes. With a valid Power of Attorney (PoA) issued to our licensed Saudi legal counsel and attested via the Saudi Embassy and MOFA, the entire incorporation process (MISA license, Commercial Registration, and tax registrations) can be executed without the foreign shareholder traveling to Saudi Arabia. The General Manager only needs to enter the Kingdom once for the final biometric verification and corporate bank signing.
How does your ZATCA Phase 2 E-Invoicing service work?▼
Our certified technical tax specialists generate your production Cryptographic Stamp (CSID), validate your invoice XML format against ZATCA UBL 2.1 schemas, test in the sandbox, and onboard your ERP/POS directly with the ZATCA Fatoorah platform. We guarantee zero rejection during ZATCA clearance audits.
What is the difference between hiring an in-house PRO versus your Corporate PRO Retainer?▼
An in-house PRO requires a monthly salary (SAR 6,000 - 10,000), GOSI contributions, end-of-service accruals, and health insurance, yet cannot represent your company before Saudi courts or ZATCA tax committees. Our Corporate Retainer provides a full team of senior government relations officers PLUS licensed Saudi advocates and tax specialists at a fraction of the overhead.
How do you help with Saudi corporate bank account approvals?▼
Foreign entities often face stringent SAMA AML/KYC compliance checks that lead to multi-month account freezes. We assemble your complete corporate dossier, prepare your General Manager for the bank compliance interview, and coordinate directly with relationship managers across top Tier-1 Saudi commercial banks (such as Al Rajhi, SNB, Riyad Bank, and SAB).
Do you offer fixed-price one-time packages for startups and SMEs?▼
Yes. We offer fully transparent fixed-price advisory and setup packages tailored to foreign enterprises and SMEs. Contact our advisory team for a detailed line-by-line scope and bespoke proposal.
