Hi
I its my first time posting on here so please be gentle.
I am a barber by trade and I am looking to open up in Saudi. From what I have read and researched you can do this as a sole trader and have it in your own name??
Would anyone know of what would be the best way to do this or have any experience/ knowledge they could share with me??

Thanks in advance

Hello takm16,

In addition to what TheLegendLeads suggested, I invite you to read the article Setting up a business in Saudia Arabia if you have not yet done it.

It consists of helpful information.

Thank You,
Regards,
Naomi.

Very helpful links from both above.

But from what I know you cant legally own a barbershop, but maybe lease one and run it. What you need is a local who is willing to lease this business to you.
