Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what startup and small business owners ask us most — and if you don't find your question, just message us.
What is a SABER certificate and why does my company need one?
SABER is the electronic platform of the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization, through which product conformity certificates are issued (Product Certificate of Conformity and Shipment Certificate of Conformity). These certificates are a mandatory requirement for clearing and marketing imported products in Saudi Arabia — without them, your goods cannot enter the Saudi market.
How does Arab Thinkers help me obtain a SABER certificate?
We handle the full process: registering your company and products on the SABER platform, classifying products correctly, coordinating with accredited conformity assessment bodies, and following up until the certificate is issued. Our consultant has 8+ years of hands-on experience with the platform and import/export operations between Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.
How long does it take to issue a SABER certificate?
The duration varies depending on the product type, the applicable standard, and the conformity assessment body. After reviewing your product we give you a clear timeframe before starting, and we follow up on the application step by step to minimize delays.
Do you serve clients outside Bahrain?
Yes — we serve clients in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and the rest of the GCC. Most of our services — from SABER certificates to consulting and web development — can be delivered fully remotely.
What does the website design service include?
It includes design, development, marketing copy in Arabic and English, search engine optimization (SEO), responsiveness across all devices, and domain and hosting setup all the way to full launch. The goal: a website that ranks in search results and converts visitors into customers.
Are ERP systems suitable for small businesses?
Yes — the key is choosing a system that fits your company's size and budget. We help you select the right solution and implement it gradually, so you get automation of accounting, inventory, sales and HR without unnecessary complexity or cost.
