Document background
The Bylaws And Articles Of Association are mandatory constitutional documents required for company formation in Saudi Arabia under the Companies Law of 2015. These documents must be prepared and filed when establishing any company in Saudi Arabia, whether it's a limited liability company, joint stock company, or another permitted corporate form. They contain essential information about the company's structure, including capital allocation, shareholder rights, management responsibilities, and operational procedures. The documents must comply with Saudi Arabian law and require approval from the Ministry of Commerce and, where applicable, other regulatory bodies such as the Capital Market Authority for public companies. They serve as the primary reference point for resolving corporate governance issues and guide the company's internal operations and external relationships.
