06The questions every founder asks

What you'll wonder before saying yes.

The ten questions we hear most often. About ownership, capital, timing, costs, sponsorship, banking, residency, and what happens after you're live. Straight answers from a team that's done it 2,500+ times.

Yes. In most sectors of the Qatari economy, foreign investors can now own 100% of the company with no local partner required. The old 49% cap is gone. A few sectors are still restricted (banking, insurance, telecoms, recruitment, real estate trading, and commercial agencies) and still need Qatari participation. We confirm whether your specific activity is eligible within the first 24 hours of engagement.
For most commercial activities, the minimum capital for a Qatari WLL has been reduced to QAR 200,000 under recent reforms, though the actual deposited amount depends on the activity. For QFC entities, minimum capital varies by license category. Typically USD 50,000 for advisory and USD 250,000 for asset management. For QFZ, the minimum capital structure follows the QFZA-specific framework.
Average timelines: Mainland WLL 14 working days from initial engagement to CR issuance; QFC 8 working days under the simplified incorporation track; QFZ 10 working days for standard activities. Timelines extend for activities requiring sector-specific approvals (healthcare adds 7-10 days for MOPH licensing; F&B adds 5-7 days for municipality permits).
For activities permitted 100% foreign ownership under FIL 2019, no local sponsor is required. For restricted sectors that still require Qatari participation, a local partner or service agent arrangement is needed. We structure sponsorship agreements transparently. Flat annual fee, clear scope, no profit-sharing on operations.
Mainland WLL is the standard Qatar company. You can trade with anyone in the local market and you pay the standard 10% corporate tax. QFC is a separate setup with English-style contracts and a flat 10% tax on local-source income. Built for financial and professional services firms. QFZ gives you tax holidays of up to 20 years and simplified customs. Best for logistics, manufacturing, and technology businesses serving regional markets.
All-in costs depend on the structure and activity. As a benchmark, a typical Mainland WLL in IT consultancy with 1-5 staff usually lands between QAR 28,500 - 34,200, including government fees, your incorporation documents, trade license, investor visa, and our service fee. QFC starts around QAR 45,000. QFZ around QAR 35,000. Our cost calculator gives you an exact range for your situation in four questions, no identity required.
Yes. Banking introduction is included as standard in our company formation engagement. We have direct working relationships with QNB, Doha Bank, QIB, Commercial Bank of Qatar, and 8 other Tier-1 and Tier-2 banks. The KYC file is prepared in advance, so the first bank meeting typically happens within 5 days of CR issuance.
For most steps, no. We operate with notarised power of attorney. One physical visit is typically required for biometric capture (investor visa stamping) and the in-person bank account opening interview. Many clients combine both into a single 3-day trip to Doha at the end of the setup cycle.
Annual obligations: CR renewal, audited financial statements, corporate tax return (typically due 4 months after FY end), municipality permit renewal, and any sector-specific renewals (MOPH for healthcare, MoT for tourism). Our PRO Services package handles all of this for QAR 2,500/month. Clients focus on operations, we handle the paperwork.
Yes. Investor visa is available for shareholders meeting the capital thresholds. Standard investor visa is 3 years, renewable. Family residence permits (for spouse and children) follow automatically. The visa cycle runs in parallel with CR issuance, so by the time your company is operational, your residency is typically stamped.
