Instant Approval Service

Instant Approval Service

  • City Service Providers Classification

The Instant Approval service is an electronic service available on the Balady platform, enabling users to issue a Classification Certificate with an Approval Grade. This certificate allows beneficiaries to obtain municipal licenses but does not qualify them to participate in government tenders, eliminating the need for in-person visits to the issuing authority.

COVID-19 affected the credit evaluation of many companies due to loan defaults and rescheduling. How will the new classification system take into account businesses impacted by economic conditions?
The credit evaluation criteria are based on international best practices that consider economic cycles. The risk level of the company’s sector is determined, and the weight of other credit criteria is adjusted based on Saudi Arabia’s economic weight.
