Regional Q&A
What is the RHQ mandate?
The Regional Headquarters mandate requires foreign companies bidding on Saudi government contracts to have their regional headquarters based in KSA.
Can a foreign entity own 100% of a Saudi business?
Yes, under the Ministry of Investment (MISA), 100% foreign ownership is permitted in most sectors, though minimum capital requirements apply.
Is business culture different from Dubai?
