Important notes

  • CR fees are taken from the Ministry of Commerce service pages, which do not show a recent update date, so confirm the final amount on the payment screen of the Saudi Business Center (business.sa).
  • Municipal licence fees are not included, because they vary by activity, floor area and location; the Balady platform calculator works them out.
  • We found no amounts published on recent official pages for the annual confirmation for companies, trade name reservation fees or Chamber of Commerce membership, so they are not included.
  • Trademark: the page does not make clear how fees are charged per class; the calculation here is for one class.
