Ministry of Commerce

Open Commercial Registration

Establish and issue a new commercial registration for your business.

A commercial registration (CR) is the first step to running any legal business in the Kingdom. It is done online through the Saudi Business Center and the Ministry of Commerce: reserve a trade name, choose the activity, then issue the CR and pay its fee. Tasami organises these steps and explains what comes after, such as Chamber of Commerce membership and licences.

FAQ

Can you open a CR from scratch?+

Yes — from trade name reservation to CR issuance, with guidance on licences for your activity.

Sole proprietorship or company?+

A sole proprietorship is owned by one person, usually with unlimited liability; an LLC separates the partners' liability. We advise what fits your business.

What comes after the CR?+

Usually chamber membership, GOSI, Qiwa and ZATCA registration, and a municipal licence if you have a shop.

Who is Open Commercial Registration for?

  • Entrepreneurs setting up a sole proprietorship for the first time.
  • Partners forming a company who need the setup steps organised.
  • Existing businesses opening a branch CR or a new activity.
