After the roadmap

Implementation Coordination Support

Once you approve the roadmap, TAQUDI coordinates implementation between you and the providers you select — one point of contact, one tracked plan. This is coordination only: professional and regulated work stays with the licensed providers.

What it includes
  • Provider shortlisting
  • Meeting coordination
  • Document-readiness tracking
  • Action tracking
  • Timeline coordination
  • Progress reporting
  • Client / provider follow-up
What it does not include
  • Providing legal services ourselves
  • Issuing licenses
  • Opening the bank account
  • Direct recruitment
  • Carrying out construction
  • Licensed tax opinions

Any of these is delivered only by an independent, appropriately licensed provider.

Capabilities that support the entry roadmap

Where a specific study, expert review or digital capability is needed alongside the roadmap, TAQUDI arranges it under a defined scope and a written contract.

Expert & Project Advisory

Scoped advisory assignments by specialized experts contracted through TAQUDI: engineering, financial, operational and management reviews, project-office advisory and troubled-project assessments.

Digital & AI Advisory

Advisory on digital platforms, systems and AI agents for your Saudi operation — scope, governance, integration and knowledge transfer.
