Starting your own business in Qatar or opening a shop in Doha might be ambitious and overwhelming choices. Conducting business abroad can be challenging if you don’t know the local laws and customs, especially if you’re moving your company or expanding your organization. Hence, the need for an end-to-end PRO service provider. Every company in Qatar, regardless of size, needs a trustworthy, devoted, and effective public relations officer who stays current with all new rules and regulations.
RCH is committed to providing distinctive professional solutions that will satisfy the demands of your business and complete the challenging tasks of official government paperwork and legal proceedings for you. No matter the scale of the project, get RCH support.
What are PRO Services?
In Qatar, companies employ the services of Public Relations Officers (PROs) or known as Mandoob, to handle all government interactions and paperwork. PROs are responsible to ensure your employees get their visas in time, that you have the required permits and certifications, and that all aspects of your business are in line with local governmental requirements and fully compliant with the local law. Outsourcing PRO services can be advantageous for both new and established companies, allowing them to concentrate on their core activities and increase production and profitability.
Instead of hiring your own internal PRO team, which would require a lot of overhead and would provide minimum support, you can employ the services of a consulting house such as ours and benefit from having access to multiple specialized PROs who can represent your interests simultaneously with multiple governmental bodies.
