Service 01
Business Setup in UAE
Company formation across Mainland, Free Zone & Offshore — fully managed from start to finish
Setting up a business in the UAE involves navigating a complex landscape of authorities, licenses, regulations, and documentation. We handle every step on your behalf — from choosing the right structure and jurisdiction to receiving your trade license — so you can focus on your business, not the bureaucracy.
We work across all major Free Zones (DMCC, DIFC, Dubai South, RAKEZ, Meydan, and more) as well as the Dubai Mainland (DED). We advise you on the most cost-effective and strategically appropriate structure for your specific business model, industry, and goals.
What's Included

Service 02
Relocation Assistance
Relocating to a new country is one of the most significant decisions you’ll make. The excitement of a fresh start in the UAE can quickly be overshadowed by the complexity of visas, housing searches, school applications, and a hundred administrative tasks you didn’t anticipate. We remove that stress entirely.
Whether you’re moving alone or with your entire family, our relocation team provides personalised, hands-on support from your first inquiry through to the day you’re fully settled and thriving in your new UAE home.
What's Included

Service 03
Accounting & Bookkeeping
Sound financial management is the backbone of any successful business. In the UAE, the introduction of VAT (2018) and Corporate Tax (2023) has made professional accounting not just helpful — but essential. Non-compliance carries significant fines from the Federal Tax Authority (FTA).
Our accounting team provides comprehensive bookkeeping, tax filing, and financial reporting services designed specifically for UAE-based businesses. We ensure your books are always accurate, your taxes are filed on time, and your business remains fully compliant — leaving you free to focus on growth.
What's Included
- Monthly and quarterly bookkeeping
- VAT registration with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA)
- Quarterly VAT return preparation and filing
- Corporate Tax registration and compliance advisory
- Profit & Loss statements and Balance Sheet preparation
- Bank reconciliation and cash flow management
- Payroll processing and WPS compliance
- Audit preparation and financial due diligence
- Annual financial statement compilation
- FTA query handling and correspondence
Service 04
PRO Services
PRO (Public Relations Officer) services cover all interactions with UAE government departments and authorities. For international business owners, navigating the UAE’s governmental processes can be time-consuming, confusing, and frustrating — particularly when dealing with language barriers, complex documentation requirements, and strict procedural protocols.
Our experienced PRO team handles all of this on your behalf, ensuring that your documents are processed correctly, efficiently, and without unnecessary delays or rejections.
What's Included
- Visa stamping and entry permit processing
- Emirates ID application and renewal
- Document attestation and notarisation
- Medical fitness testing coordination
- Labour card and work permit processing
- Company licence amendments and renewals
- Ejari (tenancy contract) registration
- Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) attestations
- Police clearance certificates
- Immigration and naturalisation authority liaison
Service 05
Will Registration
This is one of the most overlooked — and most important — services for expatriates living in the UAE. Without a registered Will, your assets in the UAE (bank accounts, property, business shares) may be frozen upon death and distributed according to UAE law, which may differ significantly from your personal wishes or your home country’s laws.
The DIFC Wills Centre allows non-Muslim expatriates to register a Will that is legally recognised and enforceable across the UAE. We guide you through the entire process — from drafting to registration — ensuring your family and assets are protected.
What's Included
- Eligibility assessment and initial consultation
- Guidance on DIFC Will types (Full, Property, Financial Assets, Guardianship)
- Will drafting support and documentation review
- DIFC Wills Centre registration coordination
- Asset inventory guidance (UAE property, bank accounts, business interests)
- Executor and guardian appointment advice
- Post-registration update and amendment support
Service 06
Bank Account Opening
Opening a UAE bank account is notoriously challenging for new business owners — particularly non-residents. Banks conduct thorough due diligence, require extensive documentation, and frequently reject applications that are not properly prepared. Without the right guidance and banking relationships, this process can take months.
Our team has established relationships with the UAE’s leading banks. We prepare your complete application package, coach you for your banking meeting, and accompany you where needed — significantly increasing your chances of approval and reducing your wait time.
What's Included
- Bank selection based on your business profile and needs
- Full documentation preparation and review
- Business narrative and profile writing for bank submission
- Pre-meeting coaching and interview preparation
- In-person accompaniment to bank meetings (Dubai)
- Follow-up and liaison with bank compliance teams
- Multi-currency account guidance
- Both business and personal account support
Service 07
Residence Visas & Golden Visa
What's Included
- Visa eligibility assessment and recommendation
- Investor visa processing (2–3 year)
- Employment visa processing for staff
- Family sponsorship and dependent visas
- Golden Visa eligibility check and full application
- Medical fitness test coordination
- Emirates ID application and biometrics

- Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I own 100% of my UAE company as a foreigner?
How long does the company formation process take?
Most Free Zone companies can be licensed within 5–15 working days. Mainland setups typically take 2–4 weeks depending on the activity and required approvals. We provide exact timelines in your personalised proposal before you commit to anything.
What is the difference between Free Zone and Mainland?
Free Zone companies offer 100% foreign ownership, simpler setup, and 0% tax on qualifying income, but are limited in trading directly within the UAE market. Mainland companies can trade anywhere in the UAE and internationally, making them ideal if you have local UAE clients or need government contracts. We help you choose the right structure based on your actual business model.
Do I need to be in the UAE to set up my company?
What is the UAE Golden Visa and how do I qualify?
Is there corporate tax in the UAE now?
The UAE introduced a 9% federal Corporate Tax in June 2023 on taxable profits above AED 375,000 (approximately USD 102,000). Importantly, qualifying Free Zone businesses can continue to benefit from a 0% rate on qualifying income, provided they meet specific FTA conditions. Our Tax Advisory service helps you understand exactly where you stand.
