Service Overview

Integrated Consultancy for Your Business Decisions in Saudi Arabia

Motaded Limited provides integrated consultancy services for local and foreign companies operating in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Our methodology combines three disciplines in a single team: legal consulting, administrative consulting, and financial and tax consulting.

Consulting in Saudi Arabia is not a luxury; it is a practical necessity in a rapidly evolving regulatory environment. Since the new Companies Law was issued by Royal Decree M/132 on 19 January 2023, the rules of formation, governance, and liquidation have changed fundamentally. Pre-emptive consulting saves time, mitigates risk, and opens doors a new investor may not know.

  • Yes. The Ministry of Investment fees specified in the Service Manual 9th Edition (2022) — SAR 2,000 for licensing and SAR 10,000 for first-year services — are all suspended until further notice. The current effective fees are under Ministry review.
