Selling a beauty salon in Saudi ArabiaList it for serious buyers.

What buyers ask

• Monthly revenue, and the most requested services.
• Staff: how many, their experience and pay, and whether they'll stay after the sale.
• Clients: repeat bookings, and the social media accounts and whether they come with the shop.
• Equipment and furniture: chairs and devices, and their condition.
• The lease and the time remaining on it.
• Staff health certificates: whether they're valid.

Prepare these before you list

• The commercial registration and municipal licence.
• The lease.
• Point-of-sale or bank statements for the last 12 months.
• A list of staff with their contracts and health certificates.
• A list of equipment and furniture.
• The social media accounts and the booking system in use.

How does the salon pass to the buyer?

• Commercial registration: a sole proprietorship uses the “transfer of a registration” service on the Saudi Business Center: 500 , within 72 hours.
• Municipal licence: transferred through Balady for the same location; it can't move to another one.
• Employees: their contracts stay in force after the change of owner, under Article 18 of the Labour Law.
• Lease: settled with the landlord before the deal.

How selling works on Mumtalakat

1. Create your business's listing; you can make it anonymous, hiding its name and brand until the buyer signs the NDA.
2. Identity-verified buyers see the details after the NDA, and neither of you sees the other's number or email.
3. You negotiate and meet inside the platform, and sign the contract online.
4. The amount is held at Dhamen and released only after ownership transfers.
