Overall
SMEs increase the life quality in a country

Start Ups and Difficulties
But…why SMEs are still not that many in Qatar?
Start Ups and Difficulties
Legal Form in Qatar
- W.L.L / L.L.C Companies
- Local Branch
Start Ups and Difficulties
Difficulties
- High Social Capital (200.000QR)
- High Legal Costs
- Difficulties in gather the right information
- Legal offices decentralization
Start Ups and Difficulties
Problems
- Lack of Youth Entrepreneurship
- Lack of governmental support and unclear procedures
Good case practice
London
To open a Limited in London is enough 100 pounds and 20 minutes procedures that can be done online.
Key Success Factor
- Online information
- Low capital required
- Centralized procedures
Will these support Start Ups?
Yes
80% of the start ups die in the first 3 months of activities
50% because of the legal procedures and lack of experience in handle it
Start Ups to QNV 2030
More Start Ups
More Business and
diversification
QNV 2030
