Who we serve

An international gateway, in your language.

We advise entrepreneurs, investors, and SMEs on establishing and activating businesses across UAE Mainland and selected free zones, with dedicated bilingual support in English and Amharic for Ethiopian and African founders entering the UAE.

01

Advisory, end to end

We advise first, then manage the entire formation. A professional advisory firm, responsible for the quality of its advice — not a typing centre or licence reseller.

02

One relationship

A single advisory point and a coordinated partner network. One conversation carries you from decision to operation.

03

በአማርኛ እናገለግላለን

Clear communication in Amharic, from first call to licence. Documents explained, never just forwarded.

How we deliver

Clarity. Coordination. Continuity. Confidence.

One advisory point managing every partner, authority, and step of the setup process.

03

Continuity

Support across the full journey, from company formation through operational readiness.

04

Confidence

Choose your structure

Free Zone or Mainland, chosen around your strategy.

Two paths, different strengths. It is the first thing we help you decide.

OPTION 01

Free Zone

  • 100% foreign ownership
  • Lower setup cost, faster licensing
  • Tax incentives on qualifying income
  • Flexible visa quotas
Best for international trade, services, and lean overhead.
OPTION 02

Mainland

  • Direct access to the full UAE market
  • Eligible for government contracts
  • Operate anywhere in the UAE
  • Broader activity scope
Best for local market focus, retail, and expansion.
What we weigh with you. Cost, visa needs, banking, tax treatment, licensed activity, and where your customers are.
On the 0% headline. Qualifying Free Zone income can benefit from 0% corporate tax, subject to conditions we assess properly, never assume.
