What drives us

Our Mission
To make the establishment of a business in Saudi Arabia a clear, executable process for foreign investors, by translating Saudi regulation into precise action — without inflated promises or generic templates.Our Vision

Why investors choose
Motaded
Four differences that show up in every engagement — from the first meeting to the day the Saudi entity becomes operational.
End-to-end across the group
One engagement covers the full path — MISA licence, Articles of Association, Commercial Registration, government platform activation, corporate banking, employee onboarding, residency, customs registration, and ongoing accounting and zakat compliance — across all three Motaded group entities.
Verified facts, never marketing claims
Every figure, timeline, and procedural step in our advice is verified against current Saudi government sources. We do not inflate timelines, hide fees, or use placeholder numbers.
Senior direct involvement
The founder and senior consultants are personally involved in every major investor file. Foreign investors are not passed from senior contact to junior account manager after the contract is signed.

Ready to establish in Saudi Arabia?
Every Motaded engagement begins with a private consultation. We listen first, scope the engagement, and present a written, itemised proposal — never a verbal quote.
Motaded Limited Company was founded in 2017 and is led by Mukhlid Al-Qahtani. Since its establishment, the firm has supported more than 281 foreign investors entering the Saudi market — from initial MISA licensing through company formation, corporate banking, government platform activation, HR compliance, customs clearance, accounting, and ongoing regulatory affairs. Mukhlid leads two affiliated entities: Talent Solutions Company for HR outsourcing and manpower supply, and Motaded Customs Company for licensed customs brokerage operations. Whether you are launching a first entity in the Kingdom, expanding regional operations, or establishing a Regional Headquarters in Riyadh, Motaded provides the structured support you need at every stage.
