Professional Services has been handling company formation in Qatar since 2012, across all structures available in Qatar. With over 4,000 clients across 25+ industries, we are the company formation specialists that businesses across Doha and Qatar have chosen for over a decade.
Before we recommend anything, we look at your business activity, ownership structure, shareholder nationalities, staffing needs, banking requirements, visa needs, and any rules specific to what you do. Most formation problems happen because this step gets skipped. We never skip it.

We handle company formation across Doha and Qatar for:
Mainland LLC, QFC, Free Zone, Branch Office, or anything else available in Qatar. We know how each one works, what it takes, and where things go wrong. That comes from doing this for over a decade across 25+ industries.
Since 2012 we have worked with over 4,000 clients in Qatar. We know how the authorities work, what they look for, and what causes applications to stall. That experience shows up before problems reach you.
Before anything is submitted, we look at your full picture. Your activity, ownership, shareholders, staffing, banking, and visa needs. This is what keeps our clients out of the rejections, delays, and restructuring costs that come from skipping this step.
If you need PRO support after your company formation process is handled, the same team is there for you. Your Commercial Registration, employee visas, labour cards, licence renewals, and government compliance, all in one place if you want it.

We handle company formation across all structures available in Qatar. Most of our clients form under one of the four main routes.
Mainland LLC gives your business full access to the local Qatar market. Industries that come under this structure include trading, contracting, retail, hospitality, and general services. Under Foreign Investment Law No. 1 of 2019, 100% foreign ownership is available for most sectors. Where it is not, a 51:49 structure with a Qatari partner applies. We confirm which applies to your specific activity before anything is filed.
QFC is built for financial consultancies, accounting and audit firms, fintech businesses, and consulting companies. It allows 100% foreign ownership under its own legal and tax framework, separate from Qatar’s mainland rules.
Free Zone suits logistics, import and export, manufacturing, technology, and investment-focused businesses. You get 100% foreign ownership, tax exemptions, and customs benefits built for businesses that work across borders.
A Branch Office lets an established foreign company operate in Qatar without setting up a separate legal entity. The parent company keeps full liability for everything done here.
The most expensive company formation mistakes happen before anything is filed. Choosing the wrong structure, the wrong jurisdiction, or the wrong activity code can take months and significant money to fix by the time it shows up.
We will help you get everything setup right, from day one.
Book a free consultation or call/WhatsApp us at +974 3091 3211. We will go through your business activity, ownership needs, and full situation before recommending anything. You will walk away knowing exactly which route fits you, what it involves, and what it will cost.
It depends on what your business does, your ownership needs, and where your customers are. Mainland LLC suits trading, contracting, and businesses serving the local Qatar market. QFC suits financial, professional, and consulting firms. The Free Zone suits export, logistics, and international trade. Branch Office suits foreign companies running specific projects in Qatar. We confirm the right route during your free consultation before anything is filed.
Yes. Under Foreign Investment Law No. 1 of 2019, foreign investors can own 100% of a company in Qatar across most commercial activities. QFC and Free Zone allow 100% foreign ownership by default. Certain sectors including banking and insurance remain restricted. We confirm your eligibility before recommending a route.
Mainland LLC typically takes 2 to 8 weeks. QFC takes 2 to 6 weeks. Free Zone takes 3 to 8 weeks. A Branch Office takes 4 to 12 weeks. These estimates are based on the provision of complete documents and no unexpected regulatory requirements.
A Mainland LLC typically costs QAR 15,000 to QAR 50,000+. QFC formations range from QAR 15,000 to QAR 40,000+. Free Zone formations start from QAR 20,000 and can go higher. The final figure depends on your activity, office needs, visa requirements, and any approvals needed. Book a free consultation and we will give you a clear picture specific to your situation before you commit to anything.
Most businesses do. Once your company is formed, there is ongoing government work to stay on top of. Visa processing, licence renewals, labour registrations, and more. If you want the same team that handled your formation to take care of that too, we do.
Mainland LLC is generally the most cost-effective starting point for businesses serving the local Qatar market, with costs starting from around QAR 15,000. QFC is in a similar range. Free Zone tends to cost more. The cheapest route is not always the right one though. A formation that does not fit your activity will cost a lot more to fix than to get right from the start.
