Amendments To Existing Company In Saudi Arabia
Amendments to an existing company in Saudi Arabia involve officially updating any legal, structural, or operational information that has changed since the company was originally registered. This includes changes in ownership, capital, business activity, company name, or management structure. MFD Services helps companies prepare and file these amendments correctly with the Ministry of Commerce and other relevant authorities — so updates are completed smoothly and without penalty.
Why Company Amendments Matter In Saudi Arabia With MFD Services
In Saudi Arabia, every change made to a company must be formally registered with the authorities. Whether you’re adding a new shareholder, increasing capital, or shifting your activity, you’re legally required to file the amendment and get it approved. Failure to do so can result in fines, CR suspension, or licensing issues.
MFD Services manages the amendment process for businesses of all sizes. From drafting board resolutions and updating documents to portal submission and ministry coordination — our consultants ensure the change is done correctly, officially, and on time.
Types Of Amendments Companies Can File In Saudi Arabia
Depending on your business needs, the following amendments can be made to an existing company:
- Change of company name
- Change of shareholders or ownership percentage
- Change in commercial activities (adding or removing)
- Increase or decrease in capital
- Change in company legal structure
- Appointment or removal of managers or board members
MFD helps you determine which amendment type applies and prepares the required documents accordingly.
What Are The Legal Requirements For Company Amendments In Saudi Arabia?
Each type of amendment comes with its own legal steps and supporting documents. For example, changing the company name requires updating the CR, publishing notices, and modifying the Articles of Association. A capital increase may need bank certificates and legal declarations.
MFD Services ensures all requirements are met based on the amendment type. We also review all supporting documents to avoid rejections or delays from the Ministry of Commerce.

Amendment Filing Cost, Duration, And Process
Estimated Pricing
Amendment costs vary depending on the type and complexity. Simple changes like manager updates may cost SAR 1,500 to SAR 2,500, while structural changes like capital increases or shareholder shifts may range from SAR 4,000 to SAR 9,000. Pricing is finalized after reviewing your company’s current records and the intended update.
Estimated Timeline
Most company amendments take between 5 to 15 business days. Time may vary based on ministry response and completeness of documents. Delays typically happen when supporting papers are inconsistent or outdated.
How The Process Works
We begin by identifying the amendment type and preparing the necessary resolutions. Documents are collected and reviewed, and MFD submits the application through the official portal. Our team coordinates with the Ministry until the change is reflected on the updated Commercial Registration.
How Company Amendments Connect With Other Regulatory Requirements
Amendments often trigger updates in other areas — such as GOSI, ZATCA, Chamber of Commerce, and Municipality records. For example, changing your activity code might require tax reclassification or municipal approval.
MFD Services handles all linked updates and notifies you of any required actions after the amendment is completed — so your compliance is consistent across all authorities.
