MISA Support Letter & Entrepreneurship License (Overview)

What is the MISA Entrepreneurship License?

The Entrepreneurship License is issued by the Ministry of Investment of Saudi Arabia (MISA) and enables foreign founders to legally establish and operate a company in Saudi Arabia. It is a key requirement for non-Saudi startups looking to incorporate, hire, open bank accounts, and conduct commercial activities in the Kingdom.

The license is typically required before completing full company incorporation with relevant Saudi authorities.

What is a MISA Support Letter?

A MISA Support Letter is an official endorsement issued by a recognized ecosystem entity (such as an accelerator or government-affiliated program) to support a startup’s application for the MISA Entrepreneurship License.

The letter confirms that the startup is part of a credible innovation program and is actively building or scaling its business.

TAQADAM’s Policy on MISA Support Letters

Eligibility

TAQADAM provides MISA support letters only to startups that are:

  • Actively participating in the TAQADAM Accelerator Program, or
  • Graduated startups that are part of TAQADAM’s official portfolio

Support letters are not issued to:

  • Startups outside the program
  • Startups that have not yet been accepted or onboarded
  • Early inquiries or pre-application startups

This ensures consistency, credibility, and alignment with TAQADAM’s mandate.

Scope of TAQADAM’s Support

  • The MISA support letter is provided as part of the TAQADAM program experience
  • The letter serves specifically to support the MISA Entrepreneurship License application
  • TAQADAM does not directly handle incorporation, legal filings, or government submissions on behalf of startups

Additional Incorporation & Saudi Landing Support

For startups seeking further incorporation, legal, or Saudi market-entry support, TAQADAM works with a set of trusted ecosystem partners who offer:

  • Company incorporation services
  • Legal and regulatory advisory
  • Saudi market landing and setup support
  • Special offers and preferred rates for TAQADAM startups

These partners are listed on our Perks Page, and founders can also find recommendations and peer insights through our Discord community, where legal and Saudi landing services are frequently discussed.

Key Takeaway

  • The MISA support letter is a program benefit, not a standalone service
  • It is available only to active or graduated TAQADAM startups
  • TAQADAM enables access and introductions—but incorporation execution is handled through partner providers
