Yep, both Red Bull and Qatar have deep pockets to do it.

Homologation process is always made by a manu but the mandatory entry team can be a different entity, as long it’s endorsed by the manu. That’s why MSport is allowed as a WRC team and Mini’s last official entry was made under the name WRC Team Mini Portugal (Araujo's team license).

Anyway, for now only the scheduled FIA inspection of the '17 Polo seems to be confirmed. The 5 units building and a possible partner paying VW Motorsport to run a semi official team looks very unlikely, still...
