Business incentives in Qatar
Identify the funding and incentives a business qualifies for.
Qatar supports certain companies with funding, financing and tax incentives. The Qatar Development Bank (QDB) offers direct financing to small and medium businesses. Its Startup Qatar Investment Program backs technology startups with funding of up to USD 1.1 million at the start stage and up to USD 5.5 million for established startups entering Qatar. The Qatar Free Zones Authority offers a 20-year tax holiday in its designated zones.
Each programme has its own conditions. Eligibility depends on the sector, the stage, the ownership and where the company is licensed. Some programmes ask for guarantees from Qatari sponsors. Others fund only specific sectors.
How we work
Our approach
We review the business against the programmes open to it. Each programme is rated by fit, requirements and effort. Clients receive a clear answer on which ones to pursue and which to skip. If none applies, we say so before any time goes into an application.
Delivery
For each programme that fits, we prepare the application and the supporting documents. We submit it, answer follow-up questions and follow the case until a decision. Where a programme depends on the licence or the structure of the company, we align the incorporation with it before anything is filed.
