The situation

Stevie had been thinking about moving to Dubai for a couple of years. The business already worked in the UK, but the UAE made obvious sense for it — the number of events held here is exactly the market an online ticketing business wants to be close to. This was expansion and relocation together.

Why they came to us

He was referred by a client we already worked with, and after a couple of years weighing it up, the deciding factor was trust.

What we recommended

An IFZA company, which suited an online business serving customers rather than trading on the UAE mainland. We set it up around what the business does, arranged two residence visas and an office address, and opened a corporate bank account.

The outcome

The company, the two visas, the bank account and the office were all put in place, Stevie made the move, and we handle the ongoing accounting and compliance.

Working with Start Business Advisory was one of the best decisions I made when deciding to move to Dubai. From receiving two visas, to setting up the business and getting a bank account set up, the team made this experience seamless. They walked me through everything I had to do, and it really took the pressure off as I didn't know where to start.
