What is a Subsidiary

Understanding Subsidiary Company in Saudi Arabia

A subsidiary is a locally registered company owned by a foreign parent company. It is a separate legal entity with full operational freedom in the Kingdom.

Separate Legal Entity

A subsidiary has its own legal identity, assets, and liabilities. The parent company is not directly liable for the subsidiary's obligations.

100% Foreign Ownership

In most sectors, you can own 100% of your subsidiary. No local partner required — full control of your business.

LLC Structure

Most subsidiaries are formed as Limited Liability Companies (LLC), offering flexibility and limited liability protection.

Choose Your Structure

Subsidiary vs Branch — What's Right for You?

Understand the key differences to choose the best structure for your Saudi expansion.

Subsidiary (LLC)

Branch Office

An extension of the parent company. The parent bears full liability. Limited to specific activities.
