Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 is all about empowering everyday home-based business and entrepreneurs—families, graduates, and creative minds—to build extra income streams and sharpen their skills.
- High local demand: Handmade crafts and locally produced goods are trending, especially among young Saudis and fresh graduates
- Low barrier to entry: Thanks to digital platforms like Arfof, you can launch an online store without huge upfront costs or tech headaches.
In short, if you’ve got a craft, recipe, or skill you love, now is the perfect time to share it with your community—and earn from it too.
1. Choose Your Product Carefully
Success starts by matching what you’re good at with what people want:
- Pick your category: Are you making handmade decor? Healthy snacks? Artisanal soaps
- Do a mini market survey:
- Scroll through Facebook groups popular in your city to see what’s trending.
- Type a few keywords into Google Trends (e.g., “handmade candles Saudi”) and look for rising searches.
2. Get Your Licenses in Order
To make it official, you’ll need a Commercial Registration (CR) from the Ministry of Commerce:
- Go to “Start Your Project” on the Ministry’s portal through the Saudi Business Center.
- Pay the fees: 200 SAR for the primary CR, plus 100 SAR for each branch.
- Meet the requirements:
- Be at least 18 years old
- Not employed in any government job
- Have a minimum capital of 5,000 SAR
With that done, you’re fully legal and ready to sell.
