The Makkah Chamber of Commerce, represented by its Entrepreneurship Center, has introduced the new “Business Facilitation Office” service in a significant move to bolster the local startup ecosystem. This initiative aims to support entrepreneurs and empower small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), reinforcing the business environment in the region in line with Saudi Vision 2030 objectives.
A Comprehensive Support System
The service is designed to offer an integrated and accessible support system for founders and business owners. Core offerings include expert guidance and mentorship, simplification of administrative procedures, and connecting beneficiaries with key support organizations. This holistic approach is focused on elevating business efficiency and enhancing the growth and sustainability prospects for SMEs.
A Strategic National Collaboration
This initiative is a collaborative effort between the Makkah Chamber and Saudi Arabia’s General Authority for Small and Medium Enterprises (Monsha’at). Operating in partnership with various Chambers of Commerce and public sector bodies across the Kingdom, the Business Facilitation Offices are tasked with identifying and analyzing the primary challenges facing SMEs. The collaboration seeks to develop effective solutions that will improve the overall business climate and boost the sector’s competitiveness.
Accelerating Economic Development
The Makkah Chamber highlighted that this service represents a valuable addition to its existing programs for entrepreneurs. It is expected to significantly shorten the timeline for establishing and scaling new businesses, thereby strengthening their contribution to economic development. The initiative is also poised to generate high-quality job opportunities and support the local economy of the holy city.
