The legal frame
Why you need a licensed Saudi guarding company
Guarding in the Kingdom is governed by the Private Civil Security Guarding Law, issued by Royal Decree M/24 of 8/7/1426H. Three of its articles decide who delivers the service.
Article 4
Makes ownership a licence condition: the sole establishment must be wholly owned by a Saudi, and the company wholly owned by Saudis.
Article 5
Requires all employees of guarding companies and establishments to be Saudi, and all civil security guards to be Saudi.
So a foreign security firm, or a foreign-owned entity in the Kingdom, cannot deliver manned guarding itself. It delivers through a licensed Saudi company. That is the role we fill with you.
This is a summary for orientation. Please have your counsel confirm how it applies to your structure.
