Document background
The Funding Term Sheet is a crucial preliminary document used in Qatar's business and investment landscape to establish the fundamental terms of a proposed investment or funding transaction. It serves as a roadmap for the preparation of definitive agreements while considering Qatar's unique legal framework, including both civil law and Sharia principles. The document typically precedes more detailed investment agreements and outlines key commercial terms such as valuation, investment structure, investor rights, and governance provisions. While generally non-binding (except for specific provisions like confidentiality), it provides essential clarity on the proposed transaction terms and helps ensure alignment between parties before proceeding with detailed documentation and due diligence. The term sheet must comply with Qatar's commercial laws, foreign investment regulations, and where applicable, Qatar Financial Centre requirements.
