Due Diligence Services Saudi Arabia
Financial, tax, and commercial due diligence for M&A transactions, investments, joint ventures, and Vision 2030 project partnerships in Saudi Arabia.
As Saudi Arabia's economy grows and Vision 2030 drives unprecedented investment flows — in real estate, technology, healthcare, education, and infrastructure — the need for rigorous financial and tax due diligence before committing capital has never been greater. Whether you are acquiring a Saudi business, entering a joint venture, making a private equity investment, or onboarding a major supplier, a structured due diligence exercise protects your investment and identifies risks before they become costly surprises.
Intelli Solutions provides buy-side, sell-side, and vendor due diligence services specifically designed for the Saudi market — incorporating ZATCA compliance assessment, IFRS financial analysis, Zakat/CIT exposure quantification, and MISA/regulatory standing verification into every engagement.
Our Due Diligence Services
Financial Due Diligence (FDD)
Quality of earnings analysis, working capital assessment, debt and debt-like items, capex requirements, and historical financial performance review — the core of any M&A transaction.
Tax Due Diligence
Identification of ZATCA tax exposures — open Zakat assessments, VAT compliance gaps, WHT non-compliance, transfer pricing risks, and Fatoorah e-invoicing status.
Vendor Due Diligence (VDD)
Seller-prepared DD report for distribution to potential buyers — accelerating deal timelines and increasing buyer confidence in transaction certainty.
Regulatory & Compliance DD
Review of MISA licence status, Saudization compliance, SAMA/CMA regulatory standing, environmental permits, and sector-specific licence validity.
Accounting Policy Review
Assessment of accounting policy choices — revenue recognition timing, capitalisation thresholds, inventory valuation, and depreciation — and their impact on reported earnings quality.
Management Team Assessment
Review of management contract terms, related-party arrangements, incentive structures, and key-person dependencies — critical for Vision 2030 privatisation and PE investments.
Due Diligence for Vision 2030 Investments
Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 has created unique due diligence considerations that do not exist in other markets:
- Saudization (Nitaqat) exposure: Targets acquired with non-compliant Saudization ratios face government service suspension — a material operational risk requiring quantification
- ZATCA compliance status: Outstanding Zakat assessments, open ZATCA audits, and Fatoorah non-compliance are common hidden liabilities in Saudi M&A targets
- MISA licence conditions: Foreign investment licences have specific conditions — activity restrictions, minimum capital requirements, and reporting obligations — that affect post-acquisition integration
- Vision 2030 programme participation: Some targets claim revenue from Vision 2030 programme contracts that may be at risk, non-recurring, or subject to Saudization performance conditions
- Giga-project supply chain exposure: Suppliers to NEOM, Red Sea Project, and Qiddiya face specific contract risks around payment terms, performance bonds, and Saudi content requirements
