As laid out clearly in the Commercial Companies Law No. 5 (2002), there are general laws you need to follow, whether your company is Qatari owned and headquartered in Qatar or you have foreign partners doing business with you. There will also be different structures and shareholder agreements, as well as stakes and legal contracts, depending on the type of company you own.
Setting up a company in Qatar should be hassle-free as long as you have all of the necessary documents, as paperwork can be processed online and accessed via an easy-to-use and user-friendly system.
