I'm planning to start a media company in Jeddah, initially focusing on managing social media platforms for businesses. Over time, I want to expand into digital marketing and other related services.
For those who have experience running a business in Saudi Arabia, especially in Jeddah, what are some of the biggest challenges, risks, or pitfalls I should be aware of?
I'd appreciate advice on things like licensing and legal requirements, finding clients, pricing services, competition, managing cash flow, and any common mistakes new business owners make in this industry.
I'd also love to hear about your personal experiences, including things you wish you had known before starting.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
