WhatsApp quoteMany of our clients add a Qatar entity to their UAE structure because Qatar pairs well with a UAE entity for groups serving both markets. GoldenKey helps UAE residents and international founders register a LLC, QFC company or Qatar Free Zone entity in Qatar through the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Qatar Financial Centre or QFZA. GoldenKey has licensed printing and packaging company businesses for customers in Qatar and knows which sub-activities to list so you are not asked to amend the licence later. In short, printing & Packaging in Qatar means commercial printing, signage, labels and packaging production, and it is licensed as an industrial activity.
Why Qatar
Requirements for a Qatar company are QFC and free zone entities allow 100% foreign ownership, mainland LLCs may need a Qatari partner outside approved sectors and registered office in Qatar. Documents for Qatar are collected and attested in the UAE where required, so you do not need to travel for incorporation. For printing & packaging, Qatar offers the office options such a business actually needs and a visa quota that can grow with the team.
