I had a great experience with Oxford Management Consultancy. They helped me with the complete company setup process for a foreign investor, and everything was handled professionally. From company registration to the investor visa and Emirates ID, the whole process was smooth and hassle-free. The best part was that everything was completed in just about two weeks. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking to start a business in the UAE.

Banking
Banking, sorted properly
A Dubai freezone address helps at account-opening, but the file is what gets you across the line. We have opened 1,000+ UAE bank accounts and have named contacts at 10+ banks, so we know exactly what each compliance team will ask before they ask it.
We prepare your application, brief you on the questions, and manage it through. Approval always rests with the bank, but a properly built file is what makes it straightforward. See bank account opening.

Fixed price
On tax
Free zone companies still register for UAE corporate tax, and a 0% rate on qualifying income has conditions set by the Federal Tax Authority (real substance in the zone, not just an address). We'll walk you through your position with your accountant.
