Build-Operate-Transfer lets you enter Saudi Arabia with an operation that works from the start, without diverting your leadership into unfamiliar regulatory ground. Innovant establishes the entity, operates it under agreed governance, then hands it over to your own team once it runs to standard. You get speed and compliance in the build years, and full ownership of a proven operation at transfer. It is a practical route for companies that need operations running while their own Saudi capability is still being built.
What this covers
- Build: MISA licensing, commercial registration with the Ministry of Commerce, government file activation across ZATCA, GOSI, Qiwa and Mudad, plus banking and premises.
- Operate: recruitment and contracting through Qiwa, payroll processed through Mudad under the Wage Protection System, accounting, e-invoicing aligned with Fatoora and every recurring filing.
- Governance and reporting: agreed performance indicators, operating procedures, approval matrices and management reporting, so you keep full visibility while we run the operation.
- Capability building: documented processes, trained staff and knowledge transfer sessions that prepare your incoming team long before handover day.
- Transfer: a staged handover against agreed readiness criteria covering people, systems, compliance records and relationships with the authorities.
- Post-transfer support: optional advisory cover after handover while your team takes full control of the operation and its authority relationships.
How Innovant delivers
Every BOT engagement starts with a charter that defines scope, service standards, decision rights and the transfer conditions, so both sides know exactly what done looks like. We operate transparently on your systems wherever possible and document everything we do in your name. The result is an operation your team can genuinely run, not a black box you inherit.
