About Capital International Group (CIG Business Setup)

Founded in 2007, this Dubai consultancy operates from Burj Gate Tower on Sheikh Zayed Road and says it has completed business formations for about seventeen years. It incorporates mainland companies under the Department of Economic Development, free zone companies, offshore companies and UAE branches of foreign companies, and also issues freelance permits and specialist licences such as crypto and fintech set-ups and a Saudi Arabia service. Clients can choose physical or virtual offices, and the team arranges investor, employee and dependent visas, Golden Visa applications and corporate bank account opening. Once a company is running, its finance team provides bookkeeping, payroll, audits, Corporate Tax registration, VAT filing and trademark registration. The firm stresses that remote set-up is possible without a physical presence in the country. A limited-time licence price is advertised, and its material is available in English only. No dedicated programme for non-resident clients is described beyond the remote option.
