Tech Setup FAQ

Yes. Once your company is registered, we can help you register on the ‘Etimad’ portal to bid for government digital transformation contracts.
No. If you register as a ‘Service’ company (which includes software, consulting, and SaaS), the minimum capital requirement is Zero (0 SAR).
No. The IT sector is fully open to 100% foreign ownership. You do not need a Saudi sponsor.
If you sell hardware, your license changes to ‘Trading’, which requires 30 Million SAR capital. It is better to partner with a local distributor for the hardware component.
