UAE business setup for European companies

Setting up in the Emirates from Europe: the licence, the visas and the bank file prepared for someone arriving from another jurisdiction.

Setting up from abroad fails on documents and sequence

What makes this market different.

Documents attested wrongly

Papers prepared in Europe that do not meet the format required here.

Trips planned badly

Two visits where one would have done, because steps were not sequenced.

An agent who keeps everything

Logins and documents held by the person who filed them.

We prepare the file with European documents in mind: what has to be attested, where, and in what order, so a rejection does not cost you a second flight.

The medical, Emirates ID and bank meetings are scheduled into one trip where possible, and every document and login is issued in your name.

How it works

A clear process from brief to launch, with your approval at every stage.

Quote in writing

Send the brief. You get one fixed price with the scope and the timeline, at no charge and with no obligation.

01
Approve, then build

Nothing is produced before you have approved it, and the copy is written with your team rather than around them.

02
Launch and hand over

We launch with tracking in place, train your staff, and register every account in your company name.

03

Accelerate your launch

Questions founders ask us

How much can be done remotely?

A good deal, though the medical, Emirates ID and most bank meetings need you here. We plan them into one trip.

Which zone?

Chosen for your activity and where your customers are, explained in writing before filing.

Do we need a UAE resident partner?

Many activities allow full foreign ownership. We confirm for your activity before you commit.

Will the company be able to invoice European clients?

Yes, and we set up the invoicing and banking that makes that practical.
