One firm. Three ways to engage.
Every engagement is scoped to your own situation. These three simply describe who the work is usually for, and what it takes off your desk.
Foundations
For founders setting up their first UAE company, with the budget clearly in view.
- Structure chosen with you, free zone, mainland, or offshore
- Activity scope aligned to what you will actually do
- Licence application and trade name reservation
- Establishment card and one residence visa coordinated
- Bank introduction to the lenders that fit your profile
- Corporate tax registration set up from day one
Scoped in writing, upfront.
Established
For operating companies, for those switching away from another provider, and for owners with compliance to put right.
- Full review of your existing structure and exposure
- Corporate tax and VAT registration, filing, and planning
- Bookkeeping and audit-ready financials to FTA standard
- ESR and UBO declarations kept current
- Licence renewals, amendments, and PRO coordination
- One senior advisor who already knows your file
Scoped in writing, upfront.
Private Client
For high-net-worth individuals: Golden Visa, holding structures, and the matters that call for real discretion.
- Golden Visa eligibility assessed and the case prepared
- Holding and offshore structures for assets and IP
- Family sponsorship and dependent visas coordinated
- Cross-border tax position reviewed on both sides
- Private banking introductions where the profile fits
- A single point of contact who handles it discreetly
Scoped to your structure.
Five expensive assumptions.
Most of the damage done to a UAE business does not happen at incorporation. It happens in the assumptions that surround it.
What founders believe
The fastest setup wins.
What we see
Same-day licences skip the questions that actually matter: activity scope, visa quota planning, banking compatibility, and tax registration deadlines. Those come back to bite you twelve to eighteen months later as fines, restructuring costs, or a rejected bank application. Speed is a marketing input, not a legal one.
What founders believe
A UAE bank account can be guaranteed.
What we see
UAE banks make their own independent KYC decisions, regulated by the Central Bank of the UAE. No consultancy controls approval, and anyone who guarantees you a bank account is misrepresenting the process. It starts with working out which banks open for which profiles, before a single application goes in.
What founders believe
The headline price is the real price.
What we see
First-year sticker prices usually leave out thirty to fifty percent of the true annual cost: government fees, immigration costs, Ejari registration, MOHRE establishment cards, audit requirements, UBO declarations, bookkeeping, and corporate tax registration. The real cost turns up in invoices five and six.
What founders believe
Free zone means zero tax.
What we see
Free zone companies sit inside the UAE corporate tax regime. The 0% rate applies only to Qualifying Free Zone Persons earning Qualifying Income, which needs adequate substance, audited financials, transfer pricing compliance, and the de minimis test. Any mainland-derived income is taxed at 9% regardless of free zone status.
What founders believe
Closing is simpler than opening.
What we see
UAE liquidation needs a sequenced set of clearances from the licensing authority, the Federal Tax Authority, immigration, and your banking partners. Entities closed improperly stay a regulatory liability for their owners. Sometimes it surfaces years later, in another country, at the worst possible moment.
Take the decision guide with you.
The four questions that decide your structure, the decisions founders most often get wrong, and a checklist to run before you sign with anyone. Us included.
One email. No spam. Unsubscribe anytime.
A decision system, not a sales process.
Every engagement moves through the same path, set out clearly in writing before any work begins. You always know exactly where you are and what the next step is, from the first call to the open account.
-
Day 0
A conversation, a document review, and a written scope you approve before anything starts.
-
Day 2
The licence application goes in once the structure is right, not before.
-
Week 2
Establishment card and residence visa coordinated, from start to finish.
-
Week 4
The bank account opened with a profile prepared to survive review.
It starts with understanding your situation, before any structure is even on the table. Everything that follows is scoped in writing, and you approve it before it begins.
What we always do
- Guide the decision before the paperwork, and set out the full picture in writing first.
- Keep you with one senior advisor, from first call to final document.
What we never do
- Sell licences you do not need, or guarantee approvals no one honestly can.
- Promote shortcuts, or hand your file to a junior after the sale.
What working with the firm looks like.
Everything was perfect, very fast, easy and super professional. You helped me and my family get our Golden Visas without any stress.
From the initial assessment to final implementation, the team demonstrated strong expertise, structured methodology, and clear communication.
They delivered what they promised without any hidden agenda and informed me of better and less costly ways to achieve what I need.
Thanks to Manish Kumar, we were finally able to speed up the process of getting our visa after months of struggling with other agents.
He was super quick to reply, very efficient and honestly the best I have worked with. He made the whole process so much easier.
Manish demonstrated deep expertise, professionalism, and a thorough understanding of the incorporation process. Proactive, responsive, and efficient.
They've assisted me and my family obtain golden residency in the UAE. All timelines were clearly defined and all processes transparent.
Communication was clear from the start, everything managed end to end with full transparency on costs.
Manish was instrumental in setting up our company in Dubai. Always responsive, readily available to answer our questions.
A trusted advisor, a skilled navigator of complex regulatory landscapes, with unshakeable integrity.
Great and professional support from Manish. I recommend working with him on any project.
Built for the case, not the volume.
Before anyone forms a company, I want to know it is the right one. I have nothing to push and no quota to hit, so I can tell you which structure fits you, or that none does.
I started DM Consultancy after five years inside the UAE setup industry, watching good clients pay for advice that put the firm's volume ahead of their situation.
Most firms are built for volume: sales close fast, junior teams do the work, and onboarding ends the day the licence issues. This firm is built around the case. One senior advisor handles each engagement from the first call to the final document, and we take on fewer engagements than the larger firms so the ones we do take get the seriousness they need.
Plain answers. No fine print.

A conversation about your situation.
Thirty minutes. No pitch. We listen, we ask the right questions, and we tell you what we would do if we were in your position. If the firm fits your case, we carry on. If it does not, you leave with sharper direction than you came in with.
