M&A Advisory Qatar FAQs
Does Corvian Advisory serve clients in Qatar?
Yes. Corvian Advisory serves corporate clients across the GCC, including Qatar and Doha. We advise on M&A transactions, business sales, acquisitions, business valuations, fundraising, and financial due diligence for Qatari companies. Our principal is Dubai-based and travels to Qatar for client engagements.
What M&A services are available for Qatari businesses?
For Qatari companies, we provide: sell-side M&A advisory (preparing your business for sale and running the buyer process); buy-side M&A advisory (identifying acquisition targets and structuring transactions); business valuation (IVS and IFRS-compliant); fundraising advisory (PE, VC, and debt); and financial and commercial due diligence.
What is the QFC and how does it affect Qatar M&A transactions?
The Qatar Financial Centre (QFC) is an onshore business centre in Doha operating under English common law with 100% foreign ownership. The QFCRA regulates financial services within the QFC. For M&A involving QFC-registered entities, deal structure, regulatory approval, and due diligence scope differ from transactions involving Qatar onshore (Ministry of Commerce) entities. Corvian Advisory understands these structural distinctions.
Can Corvian Advisory handle cross-border M&A between Qatar and the UAE?
Yes. Cross-border M&A between Qatar and the UAE, Saudi Arabia, or other GCC markets is a core focus. We understand the structural, regulatory, and commercial differences between each GCC jurisdiction — including free zone vs. onshore structures, foreign ownership rules, and bilateral investment frameworks.
