Saudi Arabia Expansion Advice

How can our EOR services support your expansion into Saudi Arabia?

Since Saudi Arabia’s ‘Vision 2030’ programme was launched in April 2016, many Western companies, spanning several sectors, have started to expand into Saudi Arabia to take advantage of the multitude of new entrepreneurial opportunities available.

Vision 2030 is a diversification programme, designed to make the country’s economy less dependent on oil, demonstrate social progress and create new incentives for previously underrepresented sectors in Saudi Arabia – including Renewable Energy, Tourism, Entertainment and Manufacturing.

These reforms have improved the ease of doing business in Saudi Arabia, as well as reduced the tax burden on domestic and foreign investment within the country.

Other sectors that have seen a change include Technology and Life Sciences. Within the technology industry, the state is rolling out fibre optic, 4G and 5G coverage at speed, as well as multiple data centres. These additions are helping to build a digital infrastructure for the country, which aims to make doing business in Saudi Arabia much faster and much smoother. As for the Life Sciences sector, Vision 2030’s ‘vibrant society’ pillar aims to raise average life expectancy from 74 to 80 years, which revolves around the Health Sector Transformation Program (HSTP) and a major investment drive in the Life Sciences.

Despite the business scene in Saudi Arabia demonstrating rapid growth and a strong commitment towards continuing to improve the country’s entrepreneurial landscape by 2030,  expanding into the country doesn’t come without its difficulties. For instance, there are certain regulations involving Foreign Investment Laws. One of the new Foreign Investment Laws overseen by the Ministry of Investment (MISA) outlines that to do business in Saudi Arabia, overseas investors must obtain an investment licence from MISA. The licensing process includes background checks and project evaluations to ensure alignment with national interests. 

There are also certain sectors that are closed off to foreign investment, in order to protect Saudi Arabia’s strategic strengths. This list of sectors comes under periodic review by the Supreme Council of Economic and Development Affairs, and includes:

  • Exploration, prospecting and production of petroleum substances (excluding mining-related services)
  • Military catering
  • Security services
  • Real estate investment in Makkah and Medina
  • Recruitment offices
  • Tourist services related to Hajj and Umrah
  • Midwifery, nursing and physical therapy
  • Fisheries 

Ensuring your internationally expanding business remains compliant with foreign employment and investment laws can be a minefield of complex legal intricacies and time-consuming processes. To avoid the hassle of setting up a legal entity in another country, Leap29’s bespoke Saudi Arabia EOR services can act as your international workforce management partner, tailoring global compliance, employee management (including HR), payroll, employment contracts, and much more to the unique needs of your business.

What is an Employer of Record?

An Employer of Record (EOR), otherwise known as a PEO (Professional Employer Organisation), is a third-party service provider that manages all aspects of international employment during the global expansion of your business. While you are still responsible for the management of your employees on a daily basis, an EOR manages all HR and employee management duties for you. Our Saudi Arabia EOR services include:

  • Facilitating employment contracts
  • Complying with Saudi Arabia employment laws
  • Paying taxes and social security contributions
  • Running payroll
  • Providing employee benefits

Additionally, an Employer of Record allows you to expand globally without setting up a legal entity or subsidiary.

Why do I need an Employer of Record in Saudi Arabia?

To help you outsource global employment in Saudi Arabia, we can act as your global recruitment partner – streamlining operations by handling HR, onboarding, payroll, administration and much more. Not only will this be much less complex than setting up a legal entity, but it will also significantly speed up your time getting to market. The risk of compliance, combined with the finer details of foreign employment laws, can make global expansion into Saudi Arabia seem almost impossible. This is where our Employer of Record services come in.

By allowing us to become your workforce management partner, you can seize the brand-new, lucrative business opportunities in Saudi Arabia, without the complicated and lengthy process of setting up a legal entity or subsidiary. Our EOR services also offer tax management, global employee onboarding and social security system management to make your business’ experience expanding into Saudi Arabia as smooth as possible.

Our breadth of industry experience as a global recruitment company allows us to employ business-best practices, so you can reap the benefits of Saudi Arabia’s extensive talent pool and its wide selection of top-notch clients.

They were instrumental in onboarding over 60 employees from Columbus onto our team, with a flexible benefits package that addressed their individual requirements. Leap29 also assisted us in managing the growth of our workforce in India. Thanks to Leap29's support, we were able to increase our headcount in India by over 50% within 12 months and establish our own operation in the country. We are grateful for their partnership and look forward to working with them again in the future."
