ENTITY FORMATION

Establishing a legal entity in Saudi Arabia is the first and most crucial step toward building a successful presence in the Kingdom. At Astrapi Advisors, we simplify the process by managing every aspect of entity formation, from initial consultation to full business licensing and post-setup support.

Our experts ensure full compliance with Saudi regulations while aligning your company’s structure, ownership, and objectives with the requirements of the Ministry of Investment (MISA), Ministry of Commerce (MoC), and other relevant government bodies..
