Frequently asked questions

Short answers to what clients ask first. Every project is different, so we confirm the details in the first call.

Who can apply for the Standard Incentives Program?

Saudi and foreign-owned industrial companies investing in products not yet manufactured locally in Saudi Arabia, subject to the programme criteria. We check product eligibility before any work starts.

How much can the SIP grant be?

Up to 35% of eligible investment costs, capped at SAR 50 Mn, paid 50% during construction and 50% in operation. We have prepared applications for the full ceiling on investments with capex above SAR 250 Mn.

How long does it take to prepare an application?

About 6 weeks to a submission-ready file, once we have complete documentation and quick answers from your team. In practice, the pace depends on how fast data and decisions come in.

Can grants, SIDF loans and bank financing be combined?

They are usually planned together in one funding structure. We build the financing plan so that each part meets the rules of its programme or lender.

What do you need from us to start?

The investment scope and capex estimate, product and market information, company documents and financial statements. We also need a decision-maker and a person who can gather the required documentation from the relevant teams in your company.
