Frequently Asked Questions

Lineati Consultancy is designed for SMEs, family businesses, and new investors operating in Qatar. We support owners and CEOs who need professional HR, finance, PRO, and operations support but do not want to build a large internal back-office team.

We work in both ways. Some clients prefer a monthly retainer where we handle ongoing HR, payroll, and PRO matters. Others hire us for a specific project, such as setting up HR policies, designing salary structures, or handling a company setup. We propose the model after understanding your needs.

Our primary focus is Qatar, but we also advise clients with regional operations across the GCC, Levant, and North Africa, especially on HR structures and policies that need to work across multiple countries.

We normally offer a short initial consultation to understand your needs and confirm if we are the right partner. After that, we share a proposal outlining the scope and cost.
