Dear founder,
Before I started my first company I spent years in corporate jobs, and I have now spent more than eight running my own. In that time I have set up companies, hired people, opened bank accounts, renewed licenses and closed things down. Across all of it, the part that frustrated me most was never the paperwork. It was not knowing what anything would really cost until after I had paid for it.
Company formation in the UAE is a good business for the people selling it, and too often a confusing one for the people buying it. A license is quoted low and the rest arrives later, a service fee, a PRO charge, a renewal that is somehow higher than the government’s own number. Most founders never find out that the free zone was paying their agent a commission all along.
So we built this differently. We are a government-authorized partner of the jurisdictions on this site. They pay us for registering you, and instead of keeping that, we give it back to you: your license costs no more than the authority publishes, usually less, at setup and at every renewal. Every number is computed from the published schedules by one formula, and we show you the formula.
If a number on this site is wrong, I want to be the first to know. If it is right, you should never pay more than it says.
We also tell you when we are not the answer. If you registered directly with an authority, there is nothing for us to discount, and we say so. If the cheapest first year will cost you more by year three, the index shows it. That honesty costs us some business. I think it earns us the right kind.
Behind this site is a team of people who do this every day (formation, visas, banking, corporate tax and accounting) under one roof in Business Bay. You will have a named person on your file, and you can walk into our office and ask for them.
Thank you for considering us. Whatever you decide, I hope this site helps you make the decision with every number in front of you.
