Meem arranges the Qatari sponsor your activity needs for a mainland company. We screen the activity first and confirm that a Qatari shareholder is required. Then we source a vetted shareholder and register the company with MOCI.
Share your activity and the shareholding you plan. Meem confirms whether a Qatari sponsor is required and the clearest route.
Qatari Sponsor Service
Some activities in Qatar still require a Qatari shareholder. When yours does, Meem finds the right Qatari sponsor, sets the arrangement up on the record, and registers the company. You keep one team from the first activity check to the commercial registration.
This is the first question, and it decides everything after it. Most activities were opened to 100 percent foreign ownership by the Foreign Investment Law No. 1 of 2019. A sponsor is only in play where the activity sits outside that.
Most commercial, industrial and service activities, including trading, consulting, technology, logistics and food service.
The Council of Ministers can add sectors to this list. Meem confirms the position for your exact activity.
Choose this when the activity is opened by Law No. 1 of 2019. You own the company fully and there is no Qatari shareholder to agree with.
Choose this when the activity is outside the opened sectors, or when a government or public contract requires a Qatari presence. This is what Meem arranges on this page.
A shareholding split does not decide who runs the company. The registered documents do. Meem writes the arrangement so the split is clear before anyone signs.
Send these and Meem confirms your route and starts the match.

These are the questions foreign investors ask before they use a Qatari sponsor to register a company in Qatar.
No, not for most activities. Since the Foreign Investment Law No. 1 of 2019, most sectors allow 100 percent foreign ownership. A Qatari sponsor is required only for the sectors that stay outside that law.
Banking, insurance, the exploitation of natural resources, commercial agencies, and any other sectors the Council of Ministers decides. Meem confirms the position for your specific activity first.
Meem screens the activity, sources and vets a Qatari shareholder, drafts the articles and governance terms, and files the registration with MOCI and the Single Window.
The shareholding split does not decide who runs the company. The articles of association and the manager appointment do, and Meem records management and signing authority there.
Meem matches the shareholder to your activity and confirms the arrangement and the documents before anything is signed, so the shareholder is dependable at renewals.
Passport copies of the owners and the Qatari shareholder, the Qatari shareholder ID (and company papers if it is a company), the trade name, the activity, the shareholding split and the draft articles.
Yes, when the activity and the records allow it. A change is handled as a share transfer and an update to the company registration, which Meem manages through MOCI.
There is no government-set sponsor fee. The shareholder fee is a private commercial term, and the Meem fee covers the screening, the sourcing, the documents and the registration.
