KSA licensing is layered — but manageable
Engineering and design firms face a stack of registration requirements that most formation advisors don't cover in full. We do.
MISA foreign investment license
Mandatory for any foreign-controlled professional services entity. Alpha handles the full filing.
Saudi Engineering Council
SEC registration is required for each engineering discipline. Engineers must meet KSA academic + experience criteria.
Technology transfer
Required for certain ISIC classes. Structured through your engagement letters — Alpha reviews the correct framing.
Saudization (Nitaqat)
Minimum Saudi national hiring quota. Your tier depends on headcount; Alpha helps you model the requirement before setup.
