Non-regulated route; final quote after assessment

The figure shown is a starting estimate for the featured route, not a checkout total. Your itemised quote separates the bdoor fee, provider fee, government charges, third-party costs and taxes — and is issued only after specialist review.

Requirements and eligibility

  • The first route is the Qatar Financial Centre for a non-regulated activity; mainland, free-zone and regulated activities each need their own eligibility review.
  • QFC applications name the proposed activities, business model, principal office, directors and senior executive, and beneficial owners.
  • Application and annual licence fees apply in addition to professional fees, and approved premises are required.

Documents you should expect to provide

  • Passports or IDs, proof of address and CVs for the people involved
  • Source-of-funds evidence
  • Corporate documents where a company is a shareholder

The appointed provider confirms the exact list for your case; nothing is uploaded until identity collection opens for your engagement.

Ongoing obligations after formation

  • Annual QFC licence renewal and approved-premises upkeep
  • Tax registration and filings, plus immigration and computer-card obligations once staff arrive

Common questions

Why is the first year quoted only after review?

The application fee is only part of the picture: the annual licence, office allowance and any regulated surcharge depend on the activity, so a complete first-year figure needs the review first.

Does bdoor handle regulated activities?

Regulated and DNFBP activities always go to a specialist review before any commitment; they are never sold as a standard route.
