Taking over a UAE branch that wasn't getting done
A large international UK recruitment firm opening in the UAE.
Speak to us about your situationThe situation
The firm had decided to expand into the UAE and started the process with another setup company. It had stalled — delays, unclear answers, and no real sense of when it would be finished — while they were trying to open a proper operation and move people over.
Why they came to us
They were introduced by a friend who had used us. After a few calls and meetings, the owner asked directly whether we would take over the process and make sure it completed.
What we recommended
We picked it up where it had stalled and set it up as a mainland branch of the UK company, so the UAE operation sat under the existing business. We sorted the banking and the office space, and handled the visas across the board — for the owner, her husband, their children, and the staff she was bringing into the operation.
The outcome
The branch was opened, the bank account and office put in place, and the family and staff visas completed. We handle the ongoing compliance.
