02 Company Structures

Choose the right way to own your business

Every structure has different ownership, liability and licensing rules. We'll recommend the one that fits your goals — and set it up correctly.

S-01

Limited Liability Company (LLC)

A separate legal entity where shareholders' liability is limited to their invested capital — the right fit for most investors.

Most popular
S-02

Branch of a Foreign Company

An extension of your parent company that operates in Saudi Arabia under its name, with the parent holding liability.

S-03

Special Economic Zone (SEZ)

Designated zones offering tax incentives, simplified regulations, customs benefits and ownership flexibility.

S-04

Regional Headquarters (RHQ)

For multinationals operating in two or more countries — we set up your centralised regional base in the Kingdom.

S-05

Premium Residency

Residence permits that let you live, invest and own property in Saudi Arabia without a local sponsor.

S-06

Entrepreneur Licence

An official MISA permit that lets startups establish operations through a simplified, founder-friendly process.

03 Why True Line
