Can non-Qataris buy a building or a business in Qatar?
Non-Qataris can purchase real estate within the 10 freehold zones designated by Cabinet Decision No. 21 of 2026 and purchase shops and offices within commercial complexes throughout Qatar. However, in some of the oldest areas of Doha such as Umm Ghuwailina and Najma, property is sold under the system of usufruct. Under this system non-Qataris can hold real estate for up to 99 years but not own it freehold. Non-Qataris can also set up companies in Qatar, and up to 100 percent foreign participation is allowed in most activities under the commercial companies law.
Can a running business be listed for sale here?
Yes, businesses of all kinds such as restaurants, cafes, hairdressing salons, medical clinics, workshops and trading licenses can be advertised for sale, with or without premises. A good listing should clearly state what is being offered: a license, equipment, a lease agreement, or the whole lot.
