Our company formation services

Setting up a company in Dubai—and more broadly in the United Arab Emirates—requires comprehensive, tailored support. It is an administrative process that can be very fast for our firm, but long and error-prone for individuals who do not have the relevant expertise and knowledge of local regulations.

Company formation

Company formation

Setting up a company in Dubai and the UAE is more than an administrative formality. We support you in structuring your business based on your objectives, activity, and growth plans. The choice of jurisdiction (Mainland or Free Zone), Emirate, legal form, and regulatory framework is approached methodically to build solid, compliant foundations aligned with your medium- and long-term strategy.
Company address & offices

Company address & offices

Your registered address and office setup directly impact your company’s credibility and operational efficiency. We advise you in selecting solutions that fit your activity, regulatory requirements and operating model. The objective is to ensure a consistent footprint, compliant with local requirements and scalable as your business grows.
Bank account opening

Bank account opening

Opening a bank account in the UAE requires rigorous preparation and a clear understanding of financial institutions’ expectations. We support you in structuring your file, positioning your activity, selecting the most suitable banks for your profile, and facilitating introductions. This approach streamlines exchanges and secures access to the banking services required for your operations.
Visa & Emirates ID

Visa & Emirates ID

Obtaining visas and an Emirates ID is a key step in your relocation to the UAE. The Emirates ID is required to open both corporate and personal bank accounts. We support you throughout the process, from file preparation to medical appointment scheduling and the biometrics (fingerprints) appointment. This end-to-end support helps secure your personal and professional status.
Accounting and tax management

Accounting and tax management

Rigorous accounting and tax management is mandatory in the UAE to ensure compliance and the long-term sustainability of your company. We support you from bookkeeping through corporate tax and VAT filing with the Federal Tax Authority, including FTA registration. This approach provides reliable visibility into performance and enables confident decision-making.
HR and recruitment

HR and recruitment

The success of your establishment also depends on the strength of your teams. We support you in structuring HR, complying with the local regulatory framework, and recruiting profiles aligned with your needs. The objective is to build a stable, high-performing organization aligned with your growth strategy in Dubai and the UAE.
