Our method

How we research

Sourcing

Every fee, capital requirement, processing timeline and ownership figure published here is checked against a government or regulator source before it is allowed to publish: the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, the Qatar Financial Centre, the Qatar Free Zones Authority, the Qatar Science and Technology Park, Hukoomi and Al Meezan. A figure that cannot be traced to one of these is removed from the draft rather than published with a caveat.

Research and drafting process

Guides begin from a brief built out of the questions readers are actually asking and the pages currently ranking for them. Drafts are checked for factual grounding, then reviewed by a person before publication. Nothing publishes automatically.

Corrections

Regulations change. When a figure or requirement changes, the affected guide is updated and the revision date shown on the article reflects the change. If you believe something here is inaccurate, use the contact page to flag it.

Who publishes this site

This site is published by TrustLink Corporate Services, a Qatar business services firm handling company formation, licensing, PRO services and attestation in Doha. Guides here are written to answer the question first; where a link points to TrustLink, it is because they are the firm that does the work.
