Frequently asked questions
Ten honest answers — some about where our work ends.
How long does a feasibility study take, and what does it cost?
Both are set in a written offer that reaches you within 48 hours of your first session, by study grade and project size. What raises them: site visits, export markets, and delivery in two languages.
Do banks and Qatar Development Bank accept your studies?
We prepare them in the format the body asks for, and we have models in Qatar Development Bank's format. The decision is theirs, not ours, and we promise no approval.
If the study shows the project is not viable, what do I gain?
You keep your capital. You receive the figure that stopped the decision, and two studied alternatives where they exist. A negative study is a result, not a failure.
How long does an industrial licence take, and why does it vary?
The review of an industrial licence application takes no more than 4 weeks, as the Ministry of Commerce and Industry publishes it; the overall duration follows the completeness of your documents and the authority's replies, not our promises.
Do you guarantee the licence will be issued?
No. We guarantee a complete, correct file and follow-up until the decision. Whoever guarantees you an official body's decision — ask them how.
I am a foreign investor — can I own 100%?
It depends on the activity; some are explicitly restricted. We check yours in the first session, before you pay.
Do I have to buy UTS software?
No. Tamkeen stands apart from the other pillars: you take the study or the licence, and choose your system wherever you like.
My data — who sees it?
Only the team on your file. We sign a confidentiality agreement on request at no charge, and never show your name or figures without written permission — which is why our study record carries no names.
Do you work outside Qatar?
We are based in Doha and our experience is Qatari first. We study export markets within a study, and take on work outside Qatar in limited cases, at the client's request.
How do we start, and how quickly do you reply?
A free 20-minute consultation: fill in the form or call us, we reply within one working hour, and you leave the call with a written next step whether we work together or not.
