It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Companies Control Department (CCD), the primary gateway and starting point for investors and entrepreneurs seeking to establish and commence their businesses in the Kingdom.
In light of the rapid transformations taking place in the global economy, we believe in the importance of responding flexibly to change and keeping pace with international best practices. Accordingly, the Department is committed to adopting and implementing modern institutional practices that enhance the competitiveness of the business environment. These include promoting the principles of corporate governance, strengthening the commercial insolvency framework, and modernising the legal and regulatory procedures governing company liquidation to ensure the highest standards of transparency and efficiency.
In alignment with the Economic Modernisation Vision and the Department’s vision of achieving comprehensive digital transformation, the Department has introduced an integrated suite of electronic services designed to facilitate the investor’s journey. These services include enabling general assembly meetings to be held remotely, processing company registration transactions, handling financial and legal filings, completing liquidation procedures digitally, and issuing official certificates and documents authenticated through QR codes.
We remain steadfast in our efforts to develop and modernise the Companies Law and the relevant regulatory framework, with the aim of simplifying procedures, reducing the time, effort and cost involved, and delivering high-quality services that meet investors’ expectations and support the advancement of national economic development.
