Setupmate Management Consultancy

About Setupmate Management Consultancy

A Dubai consultancy centred on helping entrepreneurs and companies from abroad launch a UAE presence, working from an office in Business Bay. It says it has more than eight years behind it, over 500 businesses set up and clients drawn from upwards of 120 countries. Founders can start the mainland process remotely before arriving in the country. The team compares mainland, free zone and RAK-based international structures, then handles licensing, trade names, investor and staff visas, Emirates ID steps and corporate bank introductions. Once the company exists, the firm continues with bookkeeping, VAT, excise and corporate tax registration and filing, audit coordination and legal advisory, and it also arranges Golden Visa applications for eligible investors. Fixed-price packages for several free zones are published online. The website is in English with a language selector whose contents are not specified, and the team's own languages are not listed.
