Setting up a company is more than just submitting documents — it is about laying the legal and strategic foundation of your business. Whether you’re launching a startup in UAE, establishing a holding in Europe, or expanding into global markets, we provide personalized support at every step. Our experts help you select the right jurisdiction, business activity, and structure, ensuring that the setup aligns with your goals — be it operational, financial, or tax-related.

We assist with registering businesses in the UAE, Europe, Monaco, Gibraltar, Mauritius, and other jurisdictions.

In a global economy, businesses often need to relocate their legal presence for better tax treatment, simplified regulation, improved market access, or operational efficiency. We offer full assistance with relocating companies across jurisdictions, including direct interaction with regulators, assessment of tax and legal exposure, and strategic guidance in selecting the most appropriate country for redomiciliation or re-establishment.

Official legal documents are often required for essential business activities — from opening corporate bank accounts and renewing trade licenses to participating in tenders and completing shareholder transactions. These certificates and records serve as formal proof of the company’s legal standing, structure, and compliance status.

We assist in obtaining corporate certificates from the relevant authorities and registries, ensuring they are properly certified, translated (if required), and accepted by government agencies, business partners, and regulators.

Certain business and personal documents require recognition outside the UAE in order to be valid for international use. This includes powers of attorney, shareholder resolutions, corporate documents, and legal statements. We prepare these documents in the correct legal format, coordinate with notaries, government departments, and embassies, and ensure that all procedures — from attestation to embassy legalization — are completed without delays or errors.

Our PRO team acts on your behalf to prepare, file, and follow up on a wide range of applications and submissions across ministries, free zones, and other government bodies. We ensure that your business remains compliant and efficient in its dealings with all relevant authorities.
