CORPORATE SERVICES
Since our inception in 2002, Links Group has assisted companies in the Middle East to operate in the region with the full understanding that they maintain beneficial ownership and operational control at all times. This is, and always will be, at the heart of everything we do.
ABOUT LINKS GROUP
Links Group supports organisations that wish to set up, expand or restructure a business in the Middle East. In 2002, we pioneered the corporate sponsorship model whereby a Links Group controlled corporate entity can act as the partner to fulfil the local shareholding requirement needed to set up a Limited Liability Company (LLC) or serve as the national service agent required for foreign branches.
We aim to simplify the process of setting up a company in the region by providing an appropriate solution and structure for your company, whilst ensuring that you maintain 100% beneficial ownership.
For those who wish to operate commercially in Qatar, or the wider region, it is important to have the appropriate market knowledge and the right local partners in place. This ensures your business is safeguarded at every step. Our proven track record and experience in the Middle East, combined with the level of commercial control we ensure for our clients, gives us the confidence to be your corporate partner of choice.
