This is the process of securing your desired company name with the Saudi Arabian authorities for a limited period. This prevents other entities from registering the same name while you complete your business entry procedures.
Why is it required for Business Entry into Saudi Arabia?
Reserving your company name ensures you can operate under your chosen brand identity in the Saudi market. It avoids potential delays or conflicts if another entity attempts to register the same name.
Steps to Acquire/Provide the Document:
Choose a Company Name: Select a unique and appropriate name for your company that complies with Saudi Arabian naming regulations.
Name Availability Check: Conduct a preliminary check to see if your chosen name is available for registration. You can utilize online resources or consult with a legal professional.
Formal Reservation Application: Submit a formal application for company name reservation with the Saudi Arabian General Investment Authority (SAGIA) or the Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MOCI).
Important Notes:
Reservation fees may apply, and the reservation period typically lasts for a limited time (e.g., 30-60 days).
You may need to provide supporting documents like a copy of your Memorandum of Association (MOA) or a business plan during the reservation process.
