The company's record is subject to expiration for several reasons that the legislator has indicated in detail in a set of chapters. This has prompted many people to wonder about the company and its affiliated establishments and whether they remain in effect or are disabled. The answer to this question is that the general account is only disabled in one case, which is the case in which the establishment's commercial record is deleted. In other cases, you only need to reactivate the commercial record, and this is done personally or through the website prepared by the Ministry in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. All you have to do is log in to the account designated for your company and then provide all the information requested from you in order to reactivate it. As soon as this happens, the commercial company returns to work normally as it was before, noting that reactivation is a normal procedure and many legislations work on it.
