Setup service marketplaces for Jeddah traders, importers and new ventures.

Codeeo delivers business setup services ordering website development in Jeddah for formation consultants, clearing and trading advisers and accounting offices that want to sell their services online. Founders pick a bundle, answer a few questions, pay with mada or Apple Pay and follow every stage from one account. Partner providers such as customs brokers, translators and bookkeepers list their work under your brand, and the platform splits each payment between you and them.

Jeddah buyers are often traders who want a commercial registration, a customs registration and a warehouse lease sorted in the same week. Putting those services in one basket, priced clearly and paid in one step, is what turns a busy consultancy into one that scales without hiring more coordinators.

Platform features

Built for a port city where setup and trading go together.

A Jeddah founder rarely buys a registration in isolation. Importers want customs registration and a clearing agent. Food and cosmetics traders need product registration with the Saudi Food and Drug Authority. Family businesses opening a second line want an extra activity added, Zakat and VAT registration updated and a new branch recorded. Your consultancy probably handles some of this and refers the rest. An ordering marketplace makes those referrals sellable and visible: every service in one catalogue, every provider vetted by you, every riyal accounted for. We plan the platform Arabic first, because most Jeddah buyers read Arabic, with English for the expatriate and international investors who also set up in the city.

Explain your project
  • Bundles for trading and import firms

    Prebuilt bundles that combine commercial registration, Chamber of Commerce membership, ZATCA tax registration and customs registration, with optional add-ons such as product registration support or a clearing agent. Each bundle explains its prerequisites, typical documents and which government fees the client pays directly.

    Traders buy the full set in one order instead of four separate conversations.

  • Vendor applications and vetting

    Customs brokers, legal translators, accountants and real estate agents apply to list services. They submit their licence details and service areas, and your team approves, rejects or asks for more. Approved vendors manage their own listing, turnaround times and availability, and can pause listings during busy seasons.

    A partner network you control, without a manual spreadsheet of contacts.

  • Arabic first checkout

    Checkout written in Arabic first, with mada, Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay and STC Pay through a SAMA licensed gateway, and SADAD or bank transfer for business buyers who need a reference number. Prices show VAT clearly before payment, and a saved basket lets a buyer return after checking with a partner or a family member.

    Fewer abandoned checkouts from buyers who prefer to read and pay in Arabic.

  • Order stages clients can follow

    Each order moves through named stages such as documents received, submitted, awaiting authority, approved and handed over. Clients get SMS and email updates at each change, and the admin team can add notes that are shared with the client or kept internal.

    Status calls to your office drop sharply.

  • Document intake with checklists

    Checklists adapt to the bundle: a foreign shareholder needs attested documents, a Saudi sole proprietor needs fewer. Uploads are tagged, version tracked and visible only to the people working on that stage. Rejected files come back with a reason the client can act on.

    Files are complete before a consultant starts work.

  • Commission and payout ledger

    Every order shows your margin, each vendor's share and VAT. Vendor balances are released when a stage is approved, either through the gateway's split settlement or a payout file for your bank. Vendors see their own statement.

    Payout disputes with partners become rare.

  • Fatoora compliant invoicing

    Tax invoices and credit notes produced in line with ZATCA e-invoicing rules, with your VAT number, QR code and line level tax. Invoices can be pushed to your accounting system so your bookkeeper never retypes them. Clients download every invoice from their account at any time.

    Invoicing stays compliant as order volume grows.

  • Claims and complaint handling

    A structured way for clients to raise a complaint about a stage or a vendor, with evidence attached, deadlines for a response and your team as the final decision maker. Outcomes link to refunds or credit notes where needed, and repeat complaints about one vendor are flagged to you automatically.

    Complaints are resolved on the record and fairly.

  • Reviews that shape the catalogue

    Clients score each vendor after delivery. You decide which scores show publicly and use the rest to rank vendors in the catalogue or remove underperformers from busy categories.

    Better vendors rise, and clients trust the listings.

  • Corporate accounts for repeat buyers

    Trading groups and family businesses in Jeddah often open several entities or branches over a few years. A company account holds all their entities, authorised signatories and past orders, so a second registration or a new branch reuses documents already verified instead of starting again from zero.

    Repeat orders take minutes to place, and loyal clients feel it.

Who this suits

Jeddah businesses that are ready for a setup marketplace.

An ordering platform is a real investment, so it should match how your firm already earns money. It suits Jeddah firms with repeat demand for standard services, a set of trusted outside providers and clients who are happy to pay before a meeting when the scope is clear. If most of your work is one off advisory on complex holding structures or joint ventures with government entities, a simpler enquiry website may serve you better, and we will say so in discovery.

01

Advisers to importers and distributors

Clients trading through Jeddah Islamic Port need registrations in the right order, often while goods are already on the water. A portal lets them buy the registration bundle, add a clearing partner and upload supplier documents in one sitting. Your team sees which orders are time sensitive and can prioritise them on the stage board. Vendors working on the customs side see the same deadline, which keeps everyone pulling in one direction instead of passing the file back and forth.

Speed matters most when cargo is waiting.

02

Consultancies with many Arabic speaking expatriate clients

Jeddah has long established communities of Arab and South Asian expatriate entrepreneurs who often run small trading, restaurant and services businesses. They want simple Arabic or English instructions, transparent pricing and the option to pay in stages. The marketplace gives them that without a visit to your office. Help text, document examples and short explainer notes sit next to each field, so a first time founder can complete an order without phoning anyone.

03

Firms supporting hospitality and tourism ventures

Red Sea tourism and visitor traffic linked to Makkah bring new hotels, travel agencies and food outlets to the city. Many need sector licences on top of a commercial registration. The portal can sell the general setup bundle and route the sector specific licence work to a specialist partner, with clear notes that sector authorities decide approval. Hotels, travel agencies and restaurants each get their own landing page and checklist, which also helps them find you in search.

Sector licensing stays with the relevant authority.

04

Accounting offices adding formation services

Bookkeeping firms already hold the client's trust and their tax files. A small marketplace lets them sell formation, branch registration and annual renewals online, with partners covering what they do not handle in house. It is company formation services platform development Jeddah accountants can launch with a short catalogue and grow over time. Existing bookkeeping clients become the first buyers, which gives the portal real orders from its first week.

From first call to a live Jeddah marketplace.

  1. 01Discovery by video callWe review your services, partners, pricing and current order handling with your team over video, and agree what the first release must do and what can wait. Sessions are recorded, with your permission, so absent colleagues can catch up.
  2. 02Service and vendor modelWe define each service as a product with stages, owners and commission rules, and decide how vendors are onboarded, reviewed and paid. Edge cases, such as a vendor dropping out midway, get written rules here.
  3. 03Interface in Arabic and EnglishRight to left screens come first, then English. We prototype the catalogue, checkout and order page and test them with a few of your real clients.
  4. 04Gateway, invoicing and securityPayment provider integration, settlement rules, Fatoora invoices, role based access and data handling under PDPL, all tested in a sandbox before real money moves.
  5. 05Vendor onboarding and soft launchYour first vendors join, set up listings and process a handful of live orders. We watch every step, collect their feedback in short calls and fix friction quickly before the wider launch.
  6. 06Open launch and improvementThe catalogue goes public with search friendly pages, then we add services, reports and integrations based on what orders, abandoned baskets and vendors show us each month.

What Jeddah firms ask before building a setup marketplace.

Timing is agreed after discovery, based on scope rather than a template.

A portal selling your own services with one payment method moves faster than a full marketplace with vendor payouts, complaint handling and accounting integration. We break the work into releases, agree what goes into the first one and write milestone dates down before design starts. Vendor onboarding and content in two languages often take longer than the build itself, so we plan those in parallel. You get a written plan showing which tasks belong to your team, such as approving vendors and writing service terms, and which belong to us.
