Olayan Financing Company

The Riyadh company behind Olayan's operating businesses and investments in the broader Middle East. Olayan Financing Company is the Gulf-based entity in this ranking. The wider Olayan Group says its international parent is in Vaduz, while OFC is based in Riyadh and dates its incorporation to 1969. OFC reports more than 14,500 people and a portfolio of more than 30 companies. Its published headcount trails Alghanim by only 500 at the stated floors, but is 3,500 higher than Abdul Latif Jameel's reported network floor. Its portfolio includes operating companies and investment positions. **Key stats** - 14,500+ professionals reported by OFC - 30+ portfolio companies on OFC's profile - 1969 establishment of OFC - 5 sectors at its operating holding company, OSHCO **Advantages:** Clear Riyadh operating boundary; a broad regional portfolio; publicly documented majority shareholding in OSHCO. **Trade-offs:** Workforce scope may differ from that of an operating company; the full shareholder percentages for OFC are not established in the sources here; group history and legal-entity tenure use different dates. **Best for:** Readers learning how one family business separates regional operating activity from an international investment structure. **Watch for:** Do not attribute every asset in the global Olayan portfolio to OFC. The Riyadh entity and the wider group's international arm have different scopes. **Vote:** Should the regional Olayan company get more credit for its published scale, or should readers rank the broader portfolio separately?
