UAE business setup and licensing services
Company formation, licensing and residence visas on one side, tax, attestation and cross border compliance on the other. Pick the service you need, or talk to us and we will tell you which ones apply.
Free Zone Company Setup
A UAE free zone license with full foreign ownership, chosen against the activity you actually intend to trade rather than against a brochure price.
Learn moreDubai Mainland Company Setup
A Department of Economy license, for when you need to trade anywhere in the UAE, hold premises outside a free zone, and bid for government work.
Learn moreE-Commerce License
The license that makes an online store legal to operate from the UAE, and the payment gateway and customs registrations that have to follow it.
Learn moreIndustrial License
Manufacture, assemble, process or package in the UAE. The license is the small part. The approvals, the warehouse and the industrial registration are the work.
Learn moreGolden Visa
The long term UAE residence visa, granted for five or ten years against a named category. We work out which category you actually qualify under before anything is filed.
Learn morePRO Services
The government counter work a licensed company generates every month, run by people who file it daily instead of by a founder learning each portal once.
Learn moreKSA General Manager Visa
To put a General Manager on the ground in Saudi Arabia, the company registers first and the person follows. We take the file from MISA registration through to the iqama.
Learn moreCorporate Tax Registration
Corporate tax registration is a deadline, not a choice, and it applies to free zone companies too. We register you with the Federal Tax Authority inside the statutory window.
Learn moreCorporate Tax Compliance and Filing
Registration is the start. The return is due within nine months of your tax period end, and Small Business Relief is legislated to run out at the end of 2026.
Learn moreVAT Registration for Amazon and Marketplace Sellers
If you are not resident in the UAE, the Federal Tax Authority says your VAT registration threshold is in effect nil. Amazon does not carry this for you.
Learn moreAmazon Seller Setup, Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia is the larger market and the harder entry. The blockers are the entity, the tax representative and product certification, not the seller account.
Learn moreTrademark Registration
A registered mark is the only version of your brand the law will defend. Filed with the Ministry of Economy and Tourism under Federal Decree-Law 36 of 2021.
Learn moreMemorandum and Articles of Association
The document that decides who owns what, who signs what, and what happens when partners disagree. Drafted or reviewed before it is notarised, not after.
Learn moreLegal Notarisation
Powers of attorney, company documents and agreements notarised through the Ministry of Justice, the courts or a licensed private notary, including from abroad.
Learn moreDocument Attestation
The UAE is not an Apostille Convention country, so an apostille alone will not do. We run the full consular chain, ending at the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Learn moreMemorandum of Understanding
An MoU is binding or not binding depending on how it is written, not on what it is called. We write it to be whichever one you actually intend.
Learn moreEmployment Contract Drafting
Unlimited contracts are gone and the three year cap on fixed term contracts was removed in 2022. Most templates still in circulation are out of date.
Learn moreConsent Letter and NOC Drafting
A no objection certificate is refused for its wording far more often than for its substance. We write it in the form the receiving authority will accept.
Learn moreDocument and Contract Review
A read of what you have been asked to sign, in plain words, before you sign it. What it commits you to, what is missing, and what to push back on.
Learn moreAML Policy and goAML Registration
If you are a DNFBP, an AML policy and an active goAML registration are legal obligations. The ministry has suspended firms for three months over the registration alone.
Learn moreUBO Declaration and Register
Every mainland and non financial free zone company must keep a real beneficiary register and keep it current. Most keep it once and never touch it again.
Learn moreProduct Registration and Certification
Regulated goods need a certificate of conformity before they clear customs or reach a shelf. We take the technical file through MoIAT and its notified bodies.
