What is a Limited Liability Company?
An LLC is a private company that limits shareholder liability to their investment, protecting personal assets from business risks. This structure appeals to many because it’s easy to run, offers flexible management, and can draw in foreign money.
A Limited Liability Company can be converted into a JSC (Joint Stock Company) if the shareholder has more than 50% of the shares. To avoid this situation, the Articles of Association should specify a lower limit.
Benefits of establishing an LLC in Saudi Arabia.
- Flexible Shareholder and Director Requirements:
The process of establishing an LLC is easy. You can start an LLC even with one shareholder. Solo entrepreneurship is its key feature. An LLC can accommodate up to 50 shareholders. There are no strict residency requirements for the directors, which simplifies the setup process even for international businessmen who can manage operations without relocating.
- Minimal capital amount:
In Saudi Arabia, there is no minimum amount of capital required for establishing an LLC. Entrepreneurs can fix the investment amount as per the operational requirements of their business objectives. However, in order to ensure adequate and smooth financial flow, the Ministry of Investment of Saudi Arabia imposes minimum capital requirements.

Saudi Arabia has a positive tax environment, especially for LLCs. Unlike other company structures in LLCs, the company and the owner are not taxed separately. It is taxed like a sole proprietorship. This simple tax process increases the net profit for the shareholders.
- Dynamic and flexible management:
LLC has a flexible management structure that allows you to create a management and operational structure according to your business objectives.
