End-to-End Business Establishment
Setting up a business in the UAE involves critical choices, and our expert consultants are here to guide you through them. We offer specialised, tailored services in company formation across all three major jurisdictions:
Mainland Company Formation: For businesses looking for maximum flexibility to trade directly within the local UAE market and with government entities, we streamline the process of establishing a mainland entity. This allows for full operational freedom and access to the entire country.
Free Zone Company Formation: We facilitate setup in the UAE’s numerous Free Zones, allowing your business to benefit from 100% foreign ownership, full profit repatriation, and specific sector-based advantages. We help you select the Free Zone that perfectly aligns with your industry and strategic goals.
Offshore Company Formation: For international holding or asset protection structures, we provide expert guidance on establishing an offshore company, ensuring privacy and efficient global management.
Our service doesn't stop at registration. We provide a full spectrum of support, including securing necessary licenses, managing document clearing (PRO services), and assisting with the entire visa and corporate bank account opening process, making your entry into the UAE seamless and stress-free.
Dedicated Financial and Regulatory Compliance
The UAE’s financial and regulatory landscape, particularly with the introduction of new tax regimes, demands meticulous attention and expert knowledge. Our financial and advisory services are designed to keep your business fully compliant and financially sound:
Corporate Tax & VAT Compliance: The implementation of Corporate Tax (CT) and the existing Value Added Tax (VAT) framework are mandatory for eligible businesses. We offer proactive advisory services, ensuring your financial structures are optimized, and manage all aspects of VAT compliance, CT registration, and filing. We demystify the new tax laws, allowing you to focus on core operations while we handle the complexities of financial reporting and governance.
Accounting & Audit: Accurate and timely financial records are the backbone of any successful enterprise. Our accounting and bookkeeping services provide clear, reliable insights into your financial health. As a trusted firm, we also conduct thorough statutory audits and internal reviews, giving stakeholders confidence in your financial statements and ensuring you meet all legal requirements set by UAE authorities.
Financial Advisory: Beyond compliance, we offer strategic financial advisory services, helping you with forecasting, risk management, and developing robust financial strategies essential for long-term growth and stability in a competitive market.
