Set up correctly. Stay compliant quietly.
The right structure saves years of headaches. We help you choose mainland or free zone based on what you actually do — not what a setup agent earns commission on — and then keep you compliant year after year.
Everything you need, nothing you don't.
Scope is fixed, pricing is transparent, and every deliverable has a named owner on our team.

Common questions.
Mainland or free zone — what's the right choice?
It depends on who your customers are, where your team sits, and whether you want to access the Corporate Tax 0% Qualifying Free Zone regime. We'll give you a straight answer in 30 minutes.
Do I need to file ESR?
If your entity carries out any of the Relevant Activities (e.g. holding, headquarters, distribution, service centre), you must file an annual ESR notification and, in some cases, an economic substance report.
What is UBO?
Every UAE company must disclose its Ultimate Beneficial Owners — natural persons owning 25%+ or otherwise controlling the entity — to its licensing authority, and keep the register updated within 15 days of any change.
Do you help with bank account opening?
Yes. We prepare the source-of-funds documentation, KYC pack, and intros that materially improve approval odds with both UAE and international banks.
