Therefore, we strongly advise conducting independent due diligence before engaging in any business activity with international companies. The platform is designed for assistance purposes and as a directory of company names, the Qatar Chamber will not be held liable in any way if a company listed on the platform is found to be fraudulent.
So, we strongly advise verifying the credentials of listed companies, especially if you are engaging in business for the first time. Verification can be done through one of the following methods:
- For Qatari companies, we recommend contacting the Ministry of Commerce and Industry for further guidance.
- For companies outside Qatar, they can contact the relevant Chamber of Commerce in their home country or their country’s embassy in Qatar (Commercial Attaché).
- Any other verification method.
The Chamber would like to point out that some (national) companies have fallen into the trap of fraudulent business operations by taking data from websites, where it was discovered that the company that responded to Purchase Order and to which amounts were transferred is fake. Therefore, we advise that the company should not rely on Purchase Orders or phone calls, but rather the safest and best way is to verify using the methods mentioned above, and the most secure way is to conclude agreements that include details of business transactions and the obligations and rights of each party.
For Qatari companies, we recommend contacting the Ministry of Commerce and Industry for further guidance:
