Saudi Arabia Company & Beneficial Ownership Directory
Saudi Arabia company register data is filed on the Commercial Register (السجل التجاري, Al-Sijill Al-Tijari), under a new Law of Commercial Register issued in September 2024 and effective 3 April 2025, replacing the previous 1995 framework, and run by the Ministry of Commerce. Beneficial ownership is filed separately through the Saudi Business Center, mandatory since the same April 2025 effective date and linked directly to commercial-registration issuance and renewal, at a 25% shareholding or board-majority appointment-power threshold. It is not open for public search, tied instead to the registration process itself.
