Frequently asked questions

What licenses are required for consulting and professional services firms in Saudi Arabia?

Consulting firms must obtain a commercial license through MISA and register under the relevant professional authority such as the Ministry of Commerce or Saudi professional councils. Desatmos manages the entire process, ensuring full compliance for your sector.

Can a foreign consulting firm operate independently in Saudi Arabia?

Yes. Most consulting and professional services activities are eligible for 100% foreign ownership under MISA. Desatmos assists with entity setup, regulatory filings, and partner alignment to ensure operational independence.

Does Desatmos help with government and private-sector registration?

Absolutely. We support registration on Etimad, Ariba, and major corporate procurement systems — enabling your firm to participate in government and enterprise-level consulting tenders.

How does Desatmos ensure cultural and operational localization?

We help localize your consulting delivery models, contracts, and communication frameworks to match Saudi client expectations, legal norms, and business etiquette while maintaining your global consulting standards.

Can Desatmos train consulting teams for the Saudi market?

Yes. Through our sales and communication programs, we train consulting professionals in Saudi business culture, proposal strategy, and C-suite engagement for higher conversion rates.

What are the main benefits of using Desatmos for Saudi expansion?
