Which founder are you?
Whoever you are, you’ll be licensed, banked and visa-ready in 10 working days.
Founders rarely fail at starting a company here. They get stuck finishing one.
Six things go wrong between paying a consultant and actually trading. Every founder we meet arrives with at least two of them. Here is each one — and exactly what we do about it.
We map activity → jurisdiction → bank acceptance on the first call, before any payment. If a cheaper zone fits you better, we tell you so.
Government cost shown at cost, our fee shown separately, in writing within 2 hours. Nothing bundled, nothing added later.
A pre-approval audit scores your file against each bank’s KYC criteria before submission. If the first bank declines, we prepare and submit the second at no extra fee.
The most common failure in UAE setup. Banks decline on nationality, activity or business model — and the consultant who sold you the licence has already moved on.
One named manager and one WhatsApp thread from first quote to Emirates ID. You are updated at every stage — you never have to chase.
Activity chosen for the gateway, the bank and customs reality — not the brochure. And if you grow, amendments take 3 working days.
A 12-month compliance calendar handed over on day one, renewals filed before expiry, and accounting in-house — so nothing lapses quietly.
Jurisdiction, activity and visa route change completely depending on which of these you are — and that decision is made before you pay anything.
Marketplace approval, payment gateway and a corporate account all depend on the right activity being on the licence. We pick it for the gateway, not the brochure.
Customs code, warehouse or flexi-desk, VAT registration and the visa quota for your staff — sequenced so nothing waits on anything else.
Property, fixed deposit, executive level or specialised talent — we assess which category you actually qualify under before you spend anything.
Registered agent status with the authorities below means a stuck file gets escalated instead of queued — and it means we know which one suits your activity before you commit.
We examine the business, not the paperwork — customers, ownership, visas, banking profile.

Most consultants start at E and stop at E.
