Overview
Saudi Arabia’s Regional Headquarters (RHQ) program is one of the most commercially compelling investment facilitation initiatives to emerge from the Kingdom in recent years. With more than 700 international companies now having established RHQs in Saudi Arabia, across sectors including technology, financial services, energy, healthcare, education and professional services, Riyadh is rapidly consolidating its position as a leading regional headquarters destination for international business.
For international companies considering their Middle East strategy, the RHQ program deserves serious consideration. This bulletin, by SBJBC members Bird & Bird, provides a practical overview of the key incentives, principal obligations and structuring considerations relevant to the program. This topic is essential for any UK entity considering further expansion in the region, and for any entity looking to demonstrate their commitment to the Saudi market.
