Rules and Restrictions
To maintain transparency and consistency, the Service Activity License is governed by specific rules and restrictions. Our entry package includes detailed guidance on the following:
Consistency in Shareholding and Capital:
There must be consistency between the total percentage of the Saudi (shareholder/shareholders) and the capital according to the financial limit. This ensures that the shareholding structure aligns with the capital investment, promoting fairness and accountability.
Exemption for Premium Residence Holders:
Premium residence holders are exempted from submitting the standard documentation required for the Service Activity License. This exemption streamlines the process for these individuals, recognizing their special status and contribution to the economy.
Disclosure of Previous Licenses:
If one of the partners was previously licensed by the Ministry of Investment, this must be clarified when filling in the partners' data while submitting the electronic application. This requirement ensures transparency and helps in tracking the licensing history of businesses.
