Set up in the UAE with a senior team that sculpts the right jurisdiction, license, and structure—then executes filings, banking packs, visas, and lease arrangements on defined timelines. You get a single point of accountability, transparent costs, and documentation that stands up to regulators, banks, and counterparties.
What we handle
- Jurisdiction and license selection: Mainland (DED), industry‑specific Free Zones, and Offshore holding/SPV—matched to activity, market access, and tax posture.
- Entity formation end‑to‑end: name reservation, initial approvals, MoA/AoA, UBO/ESR, lease or flexi‑desk, Establishment Cards, and corporate stamps.
- Banking and KYC: board packs, specimen resolutions, signatory matrices, source‑of‑funds files, and introductions; guidance until account activation.
- Visas and mobilization: quota, establishment, investor/employee visas, Emirates ID, dependents, and medicals.
- Compliance baseline: UBO/PSC registers, ESR filings, corporate tax registration where applicable, accounting setup, and compliance calendars.
- Expansion and changes: additional activities, branches, license upgrades, amendments, and renewals.
Mainland vs Free Zone vs Offshore (quick guidance)
- Mainland: full UAE market access, government tenders, physical office typically required, straightforward trading with local market.
- Free Zone: 100% foreign ownership, streamlined setup, industry clusters, trade within the zone and internationally (local trade via distributor or mainland branch).
- Offshore: no UAE on‑shore operations, ideal for holding, asset protection, and international contracting; no physical office required.
Process and timelines
- Scoping: objectives, activity mapping, shareholder mix, premises needs, budgets, and banking requirements.
- Blueprint: recommended jurisdiction, license type, step‑plan, costs, and timeline.
- Execution: approvals, documentation, signatures, licensing, banking, visas, and compliance registrations.
- Handover: corporate kit (licenses, stamps, registers), bank details, calendars, and SOPs for renewals.
