PROPRIETORSHIP FIRM REGISTRATION
How do I register my company as a proprietorship Firm in Qatar?
The most common type of company for individuals is a sole proprietorship, sometimes known as a one-person company. And at QCF Global Services, We are all here to help you if you are starting all alone and the setup and registration process is unclear for you.
Every economic activity whose capital is entirely held by one individual or corporate body is regarded as a sole proprietorship company. The majority of investors pick this structure to launch their businesses in this nation. With only one shareholder or investor, it has a limited liability company structure. This indicates that your responsibility is constrained to the amount of your investment and that you are the sole owner of the full share capital.
You are also accountable for the liabilities of the business. If a foreign firm is granted an exemption from the Foreign Investment Law, it may form a sole proprietorship company as an entirely-owned subsidiary. In Qatar, QAR 200,000 in share capital is needed to establish a sole proprietorship company. Any legal business name may be used to register a self-owned firm. There is no such thing as a proprietorship registration on paper, but depending on the company set-up and category, it can be identified as an Unorganized business structure under the multiple departments.
For aspiring entrepreneurs who wish to test their ideas or start with little funding and inexpensive formation costs, it’s the basic optimum business structure choice. It is the ideal option for you if you want to launch a new online or offline business.
