Why do you think SMEs and Start Ups are important for the development of a country?

The role of the SMEs

Developing an entrepreneurial outlook

Increasing competition better pricing

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
