Guide to the Business Setup Process
Setting up a corporate entity can seem daunting, but Expandway’s proven framework makes the process highly efficient.
Pre-Launch & Legal Structuring
We start by understanding your goals. We help select the right legal entity (LLC, Branch, etc.) and identify the correct ISIC codes for smooth MISA approval. We also handle the Arabic translation and attestation of your parent company documents.
MISA Formation Process
Our PRO team handles all the heavy lifting. We submit your fully attested documents to the Ministry of Investment (MISA) to rapidly secure your foreign investor license, ensuring you face zero bureaucratic friction.
CR Issuance & Visas
Once MISA approves your license, we proceed to the Ministry of Commerce. We draft and notarize your Articles of Association (AoA) to secure your official Commercial Registration (CR), and immediately process your Investor and employee residency visas.
Post-Launch Integration & Compliance
Getting the license is just the start. We ensure your business remains compliant by assisting with corporate bank account opening, ZATCA (tax and VAT) registration, securing a National Address, and setting up Qiwa/Muqeem for your employee visas.

Quick answers people usually need before they enquire
Can I own 100%?
In most sectors, yes. Ownership is generally open to foreign investors, subject to activity-specific rules and licensing requirements.
How fast can setup move?
Some steps can move in days or weeks when documents are ready, but total timing still depends on activity, approvals, and case complexity.
What taxes matter first?
Foreign-owned profits are generally subject to 20% income tax, while the standard VAT rate is 15% where applicable.
Do I need to be there already?
Not always. Many preparation steps can start remotely, while travel and signatory requirements depend on the activity and file stage.
