Corporate & Business

Company Formation and Incorporation Documents

We guide you from choosing the right legal form to issuing the commercial registration, and draft articles of association that protect the partners and prevent disputes.

Why work with a specialist?

Mistakes made at incorporation usually surface only at the first disagreement between partners or when a new investor joins. Careful drafting of the articles, with clear powers and exit mechanisms from day one, costs far less than resolving a dispute later.

Who is this service for?

  • Entrepreneurs setting up their first company.
  • Partners who want their relationship and rights clearly defined.
  • Foreign investors planning to invest in Saudi Arabia.
  • Existing companies that need to amend their articles or change their legal form.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the articles and a shareholder agreement?

The articles are an official document registered with the competent authority; a shareholder agreement governs the details of the partners' relationship, such as exit, funding and disputes. The two complement each other.

Can the articles be amended after registration?

Yes, through the statutory procedures and with the partners' approval at the ratio set in the articles. We draft the amendment and complete the process.

When do I need a lawyer at incorporation?

When there are several partners, an incoming investor, or partners contributing money and work in different shares; these are the situations that most often lead to disputes.
