How it works

Five clear stages. One advisory partner.

Most clients go from first conversation to a registered company in two to three weeks. No guesswork at any stage.

The five stages

From first conversation to operating company.

Each stage ends with something you can hold: a decision, a document, a licence, a working company.

  1. 01

    Consultation

    Free, no obligation. We learn about your business, what you sell, to whom, and what matters most in the structure. In English or Amharic.

    You get: a clear picture of your options

  2. 02

    Structure & Pathway

    Free Zone or Mainland. Which jurisdiction, which licence, what it costs. Government and third-party costs sit in one column, our fee in another. Never blended.

    You get: a recommended structure with itemised costs

    The Pathway Session
  3. 03

    Formation

    Trade name, licence application, shareholder documentation, regulatory submissions. We coordinate with a named contact inside the authority, not a generic queue. Typical timeline: 7–14 business days.

    You get: your licence issued and company registered

  4. 04

    Activation

    Visas, Emirates ID, corporate bank account, compliance, workspace. The medical fitness test and Emirates ID are part of what we coordinate, guided end to end. A KYC file prepared the way a bank compliance team reads it.

    You get: an operational company, not just a licence

  5. 05

    Ongoing Support

    Renewals, regulatory updates, new visas, partner introductions. A compliance calendar covering every date that costs money if missed, built at handover.

    You get: deadlines handled before they become problems

What we need from you

Four things start the process.

01

Passport copies

Every shareholder and manager

02

Your activity, described plainly

What the business actually does

03

Three trade name options

Some activities and nationalities carry additional requirements. We tell you exactly what applies to you at stage one, not mid-way through.
