Document background
The Certificate of Incorporation is a fundamental legal document required for establishing any company in Qatar. It serves as the primary evidence of a company's legal existence and compliance with Qatari corporate law. The document is issued by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry after verifying that all incorporation requirements under the Commercial Companies Law No. 11 of 2015 have been met. This certificate includes crucial company information such as shareholding structure, capital requirements, management details, and approved business activities. It's particularly important for foreign investors as it confirms their authorized presence in the Qatari market and must reflect any special approvals or conditions related to foreign ownership. The Certificate of Incorporation is also essential for opening bank accounts, obtaining additional licenses, and engaging in business transactions within Qatar.
