Establishment

Thinking of taking your business to new heights? Step into a Sole Establishment

A sole establishment offers complete control and decision-making authority to the owner, making it an attractive option for individuals looking to start and manage their businesses with minimal administrative complexity in the Kingdom. Also known as a “sole proprietorship,” this is a business structure where a single individual, the sole proprietor, owns and operates the business. Our goal is to simplify your journey and offer our invaluable insights to guarantee a seamless and successful path ahead.
