- 04Administer ongoing substance and reporting obligations.
Why the matter exists.
Structure and register a Regional Headquarters in line with the Programme's mandatory activities and eligibility requirements, then support the substance build-out (executives, office, mandate and reporting) that keeps the RHQ compliant over time.
What you actually receive.
- RHQ eligibility opinion against mandatory and optional activity lists.
- Global HQ resolution package establishing and mandating the RHQ.
- MISA RHQ registration and Ministry of Commerce incorporation.
- Governance framework: charter, delegated authorities, executive appointments.
- Substance file: office lease, executive residencies, headcount evidence and reporting cadence.
Where we file on your behalf.
- Ministry of Investment (MISA) — RHQ Programme.
- Ministry of Commerce (RHQ incorporation).
- Post-registration authorities as for any Saudi entity (HRSD, GOSI, ZATCA, SPL, Chamber).
FormBridge is an independent corporate-services firm. It represents clients before these authorities under written authorization but does not issue, grant or guarantee any government approval.
What we need from you.
- Global HQ resolution establishing the RHQ.
- Group structure chart and regional operating model overview.
A signed engagement letter setting scope and exclusions, plus a written authorization or notarised power of attorney limited to the specific filings, where the authority requires representation.
What causes rejections and delays.
- Regional-scope description does not clearly cover the mandatory RHQ activities.
- Executive-headcount evidence not aligned with the Programme's substance thresholds.
- Global HQ resolution not legalised through the correct attestation chain.
What comes after issuance.
- 01Run the RHQ compliance calendar with the substance-reporting cycle.
- 02Refresh executive residencies and payroll evidence each cycle.
What we do not do on this matter.
- Tax opinions on RHQ incentives — reserved to a licensed tax adviser.
- Executive recruitment and remuneration benchmarking.
Government approvals and determinations remain with the competent authorities.
How long it takes.
Registration timing follows authority processing; the substance build-out (people, office and mandate) drives the overall programme timeline.
How we quote.
FormBridge professional fees are fixed against a written scope. Government fees, notarisation, certified translation, legalisation, third-party providers and specialist advisers are billed at cost and quoted separately.
