Foreigners can own 100 percent of most businesses in Saudi Arabia through a MISA investment licence, with no mandatory Saudi partner for eligible activities.</p> <p>Since a transformative regulatory overhaul in 2019, the Kingdom has progressively eliminated the local-partner requirement in most commercial sectors, including many retail, technology, manufacturing, logistics, consulting, and professional activities. This change, implemented through amendments to the Foreign Investment Law and administered by the <a href="https://vision2030.ai/encyclopedia/ministry-of-investment/">Ministry of Investment</a> (MISA), ranks among the most consequential business reforms under <a href="https://vision2030.ai/vision/">Vision 2030</a>.</p>
