Why Foreign Manufacturers Need an AR

Maintain Direct Control of Your Medical Device Licenses in Saudi Arabia

Appointing an independent consultancy as your Authorized Representative prevents distributor lock-in. You retain 100% control over your SFDA registrations while empowering multiple local distributors to sell your products.

1

Distributor Independence

Change or add local Saudi distributors without re-registering your medical devices or delaying sales.

2

Direct SFDA Liaison

We communicate directly with the Saudi Food and Drug Authority on your behalf for renewals, audits, and compliance updates.

3

Ready to Start Immediately

As an SFDA-licensed Saudi company with an active GHAD account, we begin your registration as soon as your AR agreement is legalized.

Saudi AR vs Distributor-Held License
Comparison
Independent AR (Our Model)

You retain full license ownership. Easily assign or change distributors without losing market access.

Distributor-Held License

Distributor holds your registration. Switching distributors requires full cancellation and re-registration with SFDA.

03

Regulatory Submissions

Submit your MDMA dossier, or an MDIL for research, clinical trial, or private-use imports, and manage all queries with SFDA officers.

Approval, Launch & PMS
