AstroLabs Partners with the Ministry of Investment

AstroLabs signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with SAGIA – now the Ministry of Investment – in November 2018, when we were issued the first foreign investment license for a business incubator. In our first year, we subsequently supported over 50 companies, valued at over USD$2bn, with their expansion into Saudi Arabia through our turnkey business set up solutions.

The Ministry of Investment is the government entity that licenses foreign companies to operate in Saudi Arabia without a local partner. This is a mainland license with 100% foreign ownership. The Investor License is open to companies of all sizes setting up in the Kingdom, including international expansions of existing entities.

The most common business activities we license are those in the services sector. Please note, certain activities are restricted such as recruitment, medical, and certain types of consulting (other than management).

We are currently achieving MISA license issuance, Commercial Registration, and Chamber of Commerce certification within 2-3 weeks. The company will be fully established within 3 months.

The assigned general manager from your side would need to be present twice, one for issuing the commercial registration, and one for issuing the residency card.
