Foreign investors first obtain a MISA investment licence, then the Ministry of Commerce issues the commercial registration (CR), followed by municipal licensing, Chamber of Commerce membership, ZATCA, GOSI and Qiwa registration. Alpha Consultancy runs the full process for companies setting up in Al Mithnab.
Figures are Alpha Consultancy's analysis of the Ministry of Commerce's open datasets on the Saudi Open Data Platform (open.data.gov.sa): the register of active commercial registrations (CRs) as of 30 June 2026.
Active CRsinclude main and branch registrations, as in the Ministry's own totals. Registered in a period counts CRs created in that period that were still active on 30 June 2026; registrations since cancelled are not in the source file, so older periods read lower than the number originally issued.
The Ministry's extract is dated 30 June 2026; it was taken at the start of that day, so registrations created on the reference date itself are not included.
