application for an investment permit: Non-GCC investors are required to submit an investment permit application to the Saudi Investment Authority (MISA), which includes the nature of the business, the size of the business and key financial information.

Company name reservation: The company name is reserved through the online platform of the Saudi Ministry of Industry and Commerce. The name must conform to the naming rules and cannot be duplicated with the registered company. The reservation is usually valid for 2 months.
