Lower corporate taxes, highly-developed infrastructure, and economic stability in Qatar make it a preferred place to start a business.
If you’re also looking to set up a business in Qatar, one problem you may encounter is the language barrier.
A survey found that 40% of companies said that language differences had a negative impact on workplace productivity.
As Arabic is the official language in Qatar, many businesses face difficulty communicating with government bodies and local people.
This is where a Public Relationship Officer (PRO) can help you out.
A PRO acts as a liaison officer between the business and government bodies. These Arabic speakers can handle time-consuming administrative tasks on your behalf. They can –
- Ensure compliance with Qatar Labour Law and Qatar Commercial Companies Law
- Stay updated with new government regulations
- Process renewals like trading licenses and commercial registration
- Process and submit applications to authorities regulating Qatar free zones
- Liaison with the immigration department and Ministry of Foreign Affairs for visa applications
A PRO’s proficiency in Arabic and English, in-depth knowledge of corporate and employment laws, and experience working with government departments make them an ideal addition to any business.
By performing the role of an ambassador for your company, a PRO can share your burden by ensuring your business complies with laws and regulations and help in boosting your company’s image through effective communication and press releases.
