COMPANY FORMATION · BANKING · IMPORT & EXPORT
You’ve heard the stories.
A rejected bank account.
A license for the wrong activity.
An import shipment that cost more in VAT than it should have, with complicated paperwork no one needs.
Months lost fixing what should’ve been right the first time. We tell you what actually works — before you file anything.
01WHAT WE DO
Three services,
one continuous engagement
You do not hand the company off at licence stage. The same advisor carries you through banking, trade licensing and the first year of filings.
Company Formation
Mainland, free zone and offshore structures. Activity selection, name reservation, MOA, licensing and office — plus the visas and bookkeeping that follow, handled as one engagement.
Explore company formation 02Banking Assistance
Bank matching, KYC and source-of-funds packs, business plans and introductions. We prepare the file the compliance team will ask for — the bank makes the decision.
Explore banking assistance 03Import & Export
Customs registration, HS code classification, import and export licensing, and the VAT treatment that gets missed until a shipment is already held.
Explore import and exportThe paperwork is the easy part. Knowing which paperwork is the job.
02FOR OVERSEAS FOUNDERS
Set up from abroad without flying in
Many of our clients have never stood in a UAE government office. Documents are collected digitally, signatures handled by power of attorney where the authority allows it, and the one trip you may need — for biometrics and bank signing — is planned once, in advance, rather than discovered halfway through.
- Document collection and attestation handled from your country
- One named advisor, working in your hours as well as ours
- Your travel, if any, planned before you commit — not sprung on you
WHAT WE SETTLE FIRST
- Which jurisdictionDecided by where your customers and your money sit.
- Which activityThe most common reason a licence is amended later.
- Which bankMatched to your profile before you apply, not after.
- What it costs to runModelled for year two, not just year one.
03HOW IT RUNS
Four stages, one advisor
-
ADVISORY
The first call
We map your customers, cash flows and shareholders, then recommend a structure in writing. No obligation to go further.
-
FORMATION
Licence issued
Name reservation, initial approval, MOA and trade licence. You sign; we queue with the authority and report at each stage.
-
IMMIGRATION
Visas and Emirates ID
Establishment card, entry permit, medical, biometrics and stamping — scheduled around your travel, not ours.
-
COMPLIANCE
Bank and books
Compliance pack prepared, introductions made, then tax registration and bookkeeping so year one closes clean.
04WHO WE WORK WITH
Our clients
Founders arriving in the UAE
Setting up in the UAE for the first time, often alongside a company that already exists elsewhere. We handle the company formation, the banking introduction, and the visas that come with it — one advisor, one engagement, instead of three separate vendors.
Exporters from UAE
UAE-based companies shipping goods out — to Europe, Africa, or further. The work is making sure the export licensing, HS classification and customs paperwork are right before the shipment moves, not fixed after it is held.
Importers from Europe
European businesses sourcing goods from the UAE, or through it from suppliers anywhere in the world, for import back into Europe. We handle the UAE side — supplier and customs documentation, export licensing, the paperwork that has to be right before it reaches a European port — so the shipment is not held on either end.
05WHY TASRIE
What you are actually buying
Judgement, not data entry
A recommendation in writing before any fee is paid, including the option of telling you the UAE is the wrong answer.
One named advisor
The person on your first call stays on the file through banking and your first tax return. No handover to a processing desk.
Fixed fees, itemised
Government charges are billed at cost and shown separately from our fee, so you can see exactly what you are paying us for.
Honest about banking
Nobody can guarantee a UAE corporate account. We prepare the strongest possible file and tell you your odds before you apply.
06QUESTIONS
Asked before every engagement
Do I need to be in the UAE to set up?
Not for most of it. Formation and licensing can run remotely; biometrics and, usually, bank signing require one visit. We tell you which applies before you start.
Mainland or free zone?
It depends on who your customers are. Free zones suit export and service businesses; mainland is usually necessary to invoice UAE government entities and many UAE corporates directly.
Can you guarantee a bank account?
No, and neither can anyone else. Banks make their own compliance decisions. What we can do is match you to the banks most likely to accept your profile and prepare a file that answers their questions in advance.
What does it cost to keep running each year?
Licence renewal, visa renewals, VAT filings where registered, and corporate tax. We model year two alongside year one so the renewal is not a surprise.
Is corporate tax something I have to deal with?
Registration applies broadly, including to many free zone companies, regardless of whether tax is ultimately payable. Missing the registration is the expensive part.
Start with the advice, not the invoice
Thirty minutes, a written recommendation, no obligation. If the UAE is not right for you, we will say so.
