Avantex

About Avantex

Based on Al Ittihad Road in Dubai, this consultancy supports entrepreneurs, investors, startups, SMEs and international companies that want a licensed presence in the UAE. The site cites more than seven years of activity and over a thousand clients, although another page mentions sixteen years, so the history is not consistent. Clients are walked through activity selection, jurisdiction choice, trade name approval and licensing across mainland, free zone and international structures, followed by visas, Emirates ID and bank account applications. Beyond setup, the firm lists accounting, bookkeeping, VAT and corporate tax filing, audit assistance, regulatory compliance and HR support, so it can serve a company after incorporation. Sector pages describe setups for IT, pharma, healthcare clinics, e-commerce, real estate and blockchain businesses. Starting prices are published for several packages and free zones. The site mentions multilingual support without naming languages and does not name its owners or give a team size.
