Types of Company Formation in Qatar
Limited Liability Company (LLC)
The LLC is the most widely used business structure in Qatar. It offers liability protection to shareholders limited to their share capital, making it suitable for small to medium-sized enterprises. With a requirement of at least two and no more than 50 shareholders, LLCs provide flexibility in setup and management. iBizz Business Solutions will guide you through every step of the LLC registration process, ensuring full compliance with local regulations.
Joint Venture Company
A Joint Venture Company is established when two or more entities come together to work on a specific project or business activity. This structure allows partners to pool resources, expertise, and assets to achieve shared goals. We assist with structuring your joint venture and ensuring it meets all regulatory requirements.
Public Shareholding Company
Public Shareholding Companies are listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange, making them ideal for large enterprises seeking to raise capital through public share issuance. These companies must adhere to stringent regulations and disclosure requirements. iBizz Business Solutions provides comprehensive support in forming and listing your Public Shareholding Company.
Single Person Company
A Single Person Company is owned and managed by one individual, making it an excellent choice for solo entrepreneurs and small businesses. This structure offers simplicity and flexibility in both setup and management. We assist with the establishment and registration of Single Person Companies, ensuring compliance with all local laws.
Branch Office
A Branch Office allows a foreign company to operate in Qatar while following the parent company’s guidelines. Although it cannot enter into contracts independently, it can conduct business activities under the parent company’s name. iBizz Business Solutions will handle the registration and navigate the legal and regulatory processes required for Branch Office setup.
Representative Office
A Representative Office is designed for foreign companies to promote their business and explore opportunities in Qatar without engaging in direct commercial activities. It can perform promotional and liaison tasks but cannot conduct commercial operations. We support the setup and registration of Representative Offices, ensuring adherence to all local regulations.
Free Zone Company
Setting up a Free Zone Company in one of Qatar’s free zones provides benefits such as 100% foreign ownership, tax incentives, and other advantages. Free Zone Companies are subject to different regulations compared to those operating outside the free zones. iBizz Business Solutions will assist with the registration process and guide you through the specific requirements and regulations of your chosen free zone.
