About Dubai Setup

Operating from the DIFC, this agency focuses on people and businesses relocating to or expanding into the UAE, with a particularly strong German-speaking client base. It states over ten years of experience in Dubai, more than a hundred companies formed and a team that works in around nine languages, and its website exists in German, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch and Russian. Services cover the choice between free zone, mainland and international structures, residence visas for founders and families, private and business bank accounts, and the tax side of running a UAE company, including corporate tax and VAT registration, bookkeeping and annual accounts. It also arranges DIFC foundations for succession planning and works with partner law firms on exit taxation from Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Fixed guide prices are published for company, visa and accounting packages, and each client begins with a short consultation.
