Document background
Business Articles of Incorporation are essential founding documents required for establishing any company in Saudi Arabia. They must be prepared and filed when forming a new company or converting an existing business into a formal corporate entity. The document complies with the Saudi Companies Law of 2015 and subsequent amendments, containing crucial information about the company's structure, ownership, management, and operations. Articles of Incorporation serve multiple purposes: they legally establish the company, define relationships between shareholders, set out management structures, and provide a framework for corporate governance. They are filed with the Ministry of Commerce and form part of the public record, making them accessible to stakeholders, potential investors, and regulatory authorities. The document must be drafted in Arabic (with optional English translation) and requires notarization before submission to relevant authorities.
