About Saudi Business Codes Directory

Welcome to Saudi Business Codes Directory (saudibizcode.online), an independent, comprehensive reference platform dedicated to classifying and clarifying Saudi economic activities and occupations.

Our Mission

Navigating regulatory classifications in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is crucial for foreign investors, local entrepreneurs, HR professionals, and accountants. Our goal is to provide a unified, easily searchable, and high-trust directory connecting:

• SSIC (Saudi Standard Industrial Classification) — economic activities for Commercial Registration (CR), MISA foreign investment licensing, and ZATCA tax categories.
• SSCO (Saudi Standard Classification of Occupations) — official occupational codes for Qiwa, Nitaqat Saudization quotas, and Ministry of Human Resources & Social Development (MHRSD) filings.

Authoritative Primary Data Sources

Our platform strictly relies on published datasets from authoritative governmental institutions in Saudi Arabia:

• GASTAT (General Authority for Statistics): Primary custodian of the Saudi Standard Industrial Classification (SSIC January 2025 Edition, based on UN ISIC Rev. 4) and the Unified Saudi Occupational Classification (SSCO 2024 Edition).
• Ministry of Commerce (MC): Commercial registration activity requirements and guidelines.
• ZATCA (Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority): Tax registration and economic activity linkages.
• MISA (Ministry of Investment): Investment licensing guidelines and eligible activity scopes.

Editorial Principles & Data Accuracy

1. Factual Integrity: Every activity and occupation is mapped directly from official registries without speculative additions.
2. Bilingual Completeness: We support both Arabic (official legal language) and English to assist global investors and international enterprises.
3. Regular Updates: We monitor official gazettes and GASTAT statistical releases to update codes, designations, and supervisory entity assignments.
