The Saudi Arabia commercial agency agreement – (اتفاقية وكالة)

The Saudi Arabia commercial agency agreement is not a legal entity but is the quickest and cheapest way to penetrate the Saudi market;
This agreement allows foreign investors to do business in Saudi Arabia without needing a MISA foreign investment licence;
A foreign company must sign an agreement with a local/commercial agent already licenced in the same line of business;
The Saudi Arabia commercial agency agreement must be registered with the Ministry of Commerce and Industry;
The commercial agent is then responsible for promoting and selling goods and services on behalf of the foreign company;
It is vital to fully understand the risks associated with this strategy and comprehend the terms and conditions of the agreement;
We advise our Clients to proceed with a Saudi commercial agency agreement as a temporary solution, to ’test the waters’ in Saudi Arabia;

Technical and Scientific Offices (Representative Offices)

Foreign companies are permitted to establish representative offices in Saudi Arabia;
Representative offices are only permitted to conduct product research and market surveys for the parent company;
Representative offices can also provide scientific and technical services support for their products to distributors, agents and consumers;
These entities are, however, not permitted to engage in commercial or any income-generating activities.
