Can a foreign investor set up a company in the Tabuk region?
Yes. Foreign investors can own 100% of a company in most activities after obtaining a MISA investment licence, then registering the company with the Ministry of Commerce. Alpha Consultancy handles the licence, commercial registration and post-registration setup in every region.
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.
No individual business is identified on these pages; only aggregate counts are published.
