Relocate · expand into the UAE · or base yourself here
Moving to Dubai? Done properly.
You don't have to fully move. Relocate to Dubai, expand your business into the UAE, or set up a base you can run from anywhere. We handle the UK and UAE side end to end: tax, company formation, visas, banking and relocation.
The UK side
- Income tax up to 45%
- Residency decided by the Statutory Residence Test
- A departure year that has to be planned, not hoped for
The UAE side
- 0% personal income tax
- 100% foreign ownership in a freezone
- A trade licence in about a week
We handle both sides. That's the point.
Set up in the UAE, and as much of the move as you need, from the UK
Whether you're setting up a UAE company from the UK, relocating fully, or building a base you run from anywhere: company, tax, visas, banking and family. One team, end to end, at your pace.
