Terminate establishment - Business

The Establishment Activity Termination Service – Business is an electronic service offered by the General Organization for Social Insurance (GOSI) in Saudi Arabia. It allows establishment owners to officially close or terminate their business activity in the social insurance system, stopping all related insurance contributions and terminating the insured relationship with registered employees. This service targets businesses that have decided to cease commercial, industrial, or professional operations permanently or to transfer or sell their business activity.

The service is performed by logging into the ‘Taminati A’mal’ platform, selecting the desired establishment, and choosing the 'Terminate Establishment Activity' option. After verifying that all conditions such as exclusion of active subscribers, absence of pending transactions, and all dues are settled, users input their bank account for refunding any credit balance and upload required documents such as the commercial registration cancellation or ownership transfer papers.

Upon submission and approval by the authority, the establishment’s file is closed in the insurance system, prohibiting further services under the suspended file. This reduces administrative and financial burdens on business owners and ensures orderly recordkeeping.
