At Arab East Consulting, we provide a complete spectrum of business, banking, and immigration services — designed to help individuals, families, and corporations thrive in the UAE. Our experienced team handles every detail, so you can focus on what matters most: growing your success.
Navigating the UAE's sophisticated banking ecosystem can be a challenging task for newcomers, expatriates, and growing businesses. At Arab East Consulting, we simplify this journey with our specialized Corporate & Personal Banking services — designed to give you seamless access to the UAE's most reputed financial institutions, while ensuring full compliance with local and international banking regulations.
Our long-standing relationships with leading UAE banks — including Emirates NBD, ADCB, Mashreq, FAB, RAK Bank, and many more — enable us to facilitate fast-track account openings for both individuals and corporate entities. Whether you are an entrepreneur setting up a new venture, a family relocating to the UAE, or a multinational corporation expanding regional operations, our team will guide you through every step of the process with absolute precision.
We handle everything from documentation preparation and KYC compliance to coordination with bank relationship managers and follow-ups until the account is successfully activated. Our expertise covers current accounts, savings accounts, escrow accounts, foreign currency accounts, multi-currency corporate accounts, merchant accounts, trade finance, and even private banking solutions for high-net-worth clients.
What sets us apart is our deep understanding of the UAE's evolving banking landscape — including UBO regulations, AML compliance, source-of-funds documentation, and Central Bank guidelines. We pre-screen your application, identify potential bottlenecks, and structure your documents in a way that maximizes approval chances. This is especially critical for clients from sensitive jurisdictions or those involved in regulated industries.
Beyond account opening, we also assist with loan facilities, credit card approvals, mortgage advisory, wealth management introductions, and corporate financing solutions. Our holistic approach ensures that your banking relationship in the UAE is not just established — but optimized for long-term growth and financial efficiency.
The UAE has emerged as one of the world's most dynamic business hubs — offering 0% personal income tax, world-class infrastructure, strategic global positioning, and access to over 2 billion consumers across the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia. Arab East Consulting's Business Setup Services help you tap into this opportunity with confidence, providing complete A-to-Z company formation support across Mainland, Free Zone, and Offshore jurisdictions.
Choosing the right structure for your business is the foundation of long-term success. Our experienced consultants begin with a detailed consultation to understand your business model, target market, ownership preferences, and growth ambitions. We then recommend the most strategic jurisdiction — whether it's a Dubai Mainland license for unrestricted local trading, a Free Zone like DMCC, IFZA, JAFZA, or DAFZA for 100% foreign ownership and tax benefits, or an Offshore entity for international holding and asset protection.
Our end-to-end services include trade name reservation, initial approvals, drafting MOA (Memorandum of Association), local sponsor or service agent arrangements (where required), office space solutions (Flexi-desk, Smart-desk, or full-fledged premises), license issuance, immigration card setup, and labor file establishment. We also assist with industry-specific approvals such as DHA, DED, KHDA, DCAA, MOH, RERA, and other regulatory bodies depending on your activity.
Once your license is issued, we don't just hand over the documents and disappear — we continue to provide PRO (Public Relations Officer) support, visa processing for owners and employees, Emirates ID applications, Establishment Card issuance, and ongoing compliance services. Our goal is to ensure your business not only launches smoothly but also remains fully compliant year after year.
We specialize in business setup for a wide range of industries including trading, consultancy, IT, e-commerce, manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, education, hospitality, real estate, financial services, and more. Whether you are a solopreneur launching a small consultancy or a corporate group establishing a regional HQ, our scalable approach adapts to your needs.
With Arab East Consulting, you get more than a service provider — you get a strategic partner committed to your long-term growth in the UAE.
In today's globalized world, having a second citizenship or residency is more than a luxury — it's a strategic asset that unlocks visa-free travel, business expansion opportunities, tax optimization, lifestyle flexibility, and a Plan B for you and your family. Arab East Consulting's Citizenship & Residency advisory services connect ambitious individuals and families with the world's most reputable Citizenship-by-Investment (CBI) and Residency-by-Investment (RBI) programs.
We offer end-to-end advisory and processing services for a curated portfolio of programs across Europe, the Caribbean, North America, and beyond. Popular options we represent include Caribbean citizenship programs such as Saint Kitts & Nevis, Dominica, Grenada, Antigua & Barbuda, and Saint Lucia — offering second passports with strong visa-free access in as little as 4-6 months. We also assist with European Golden Visa programs in Portugal, Greece, Spain, Malta, and Hungary — providing pathways to EU residency and eventual citizenship.
Our process begins with a comprehensive consultation to assess your goals — whether it's visa-free mobility, tax planning, education for children, asset protection, or generational wealth structuring. Based on your profile, we recommend the most suitable program and walk you through every requirement: investment options (real estate, government bonds, donation funds), due diligence checks, document preparation, biometric appointments, and final passport or residency card issuance.
What makes our service unique is our personalized approach. Every client receives a dedicated case manager who maintains complete confidentiality and provides regular updates throughout the process. We work exclusively with licensed government agents and ensure all applications meet the highest compliance standards, drastically reducing the risk of rejection.
Beyond securing your status, we also provide post-approval services including bank account setup in your new jurisdiction, tax residency planning, real estate management, education enrolment for children, and family relocation support. Our goal is to ensure your new citizenship or residency translates into tangible lifestyle and financial benefits.
Whether you seek mobility, security, opportunity, or legacy planning — we help you build a global identity that empowers your future.
In a competitive marketplace, your brand is your most valuable intangible asset. A trademark — be it your logo, brand name, slogan, packaging design, or product identity — is what differentiates you from competitors and builds customer trust. At Arab East Consulting, we provide comprehensive Trademark Registration services in the UAE and across major international jurisdictions, ensuring your intellectual property is fully protected from imitation, infringement, and unauthorized use.
The UAE Ministry of Economy oversees trademark registration in the country, and the process involves multiple stages including trademark search, classification under the Nice Classification system, application filing, publication in the official gazette, opposition period, and final registration. Our IP specialists guide you through each step with precision, ensuring your trademark application is filed correctly the first time — saving you time, money, and the frustration of rejection.
We begin with a comprehensive pre-filing trademark search to verify that your proposed mark is available and doesn't conflict with existing registrations. This critical step often saves clients from costly disputes down the line. Once cleared, we prepare and file your application with the UAE Ministry of Economy, monitor its progress, respond to objections (if any), and handle the official publication and opposition processes.
Our services extend beyond just filing. We provide strategic advice on trademark classes — helping you understand which of the 45 Nice Classes are most relevant to your business and recommending multi-class registrations where appropriate. We also assist with trademark renewals, assignments, licensing agreements, and transfer of ownership.
For businesses with international ambitions, we also handle GCC trademark registrations (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Qatar), as well as global registrations through the Madrid Protocol, USPTO (United States), EUIPO (European Union), and WIPO. This unified approach helps you build a robust global IP portfolio at a fraction of the cost of individual country filings.
Beyond registration, our team also assists with trademark enforcement — including cease-and-desist notices, customs watch services, online infringement monitoring, and legal coordination for litigation if required. Your brand deserves world-class protection, and we deliver exactly that.
Wealth preservation and growth require strategic foresight, expert analysis, and disciplined execution. Arab East Consulting's Fund Management advisory services help high-net-worth individuals, family offices, corporates, and institutional investors structure, optimize, and grow their investment portfolios with confidence. We bring together a network of regulated fund managers, financial advisors, and structuring experts to deliver bespoke wealth solutions tailored to your unique objectives.
Our advisory services span a wide spectrum of fund structures — including hedge funds, private equity funds, venture capital funds, real estate investment funds (REITs), Sharia-compliant funds, multi-family office structures, and DIFC/ADGM-regulated investment vehicles. Whether you are an investor looking for opportunities or a fund manager seeking to launch a regulated vehicle in the UAE, we provide guidance at every stage.
For fund launch advisory, we assist with jurisdictional selection (DIFC, ADGM, Cayman, BVI, Luxembourg), regulatory licensing with bodies like DFSA and FSRA, fund structuring (open-ended vs closed-ended), preparation of offering memoranda, agreements with custodians, administrators, and auditors, and ongoing compliance with reporting obligations. We work alongside leading law firms and audit partners to deliver fully compliant fund vehicles.
For investors, we provide curated access to high-quality investment opportunities across asset classes — including equity markets, fixed income, alternative investments, real estate, and emerging market opportunities. Every recommendation is preceded by thorough due diligence, risk assessment, and alignment with your overall financial goals, risk appetite, and time horizon.
We also offer portfolio diversification strategies that balance growth with capital preservation. Our advisors take a holistic view of your wealth — considering tax implications, succession planning, currency exposure, and geographic diversification. This integrated approach ensures your investment portfolio aligns with both your short-term liquidity needs and long-term legacy ambitions.
With strict confidentiality, regulatory expertise, and a deep understanding of global financial markets, Arab East Consulting is your trusted partner in building, managing, and protecting wealth across generations.
Accurate accounting and tax compliance are the backbone of any successful business. With the UAE's evolving tax landscape — including the 5% Value Added Tax (VAT) introduced in 2018, Corporate Tax launched in 2023, and Economic Substance Regulations (ESR) — businesses now face more compliance obligations than ever before. Arab East Consulting offers a complete suite of Accounting and VAT services to help you stay compliant, organized, and financially healthy.
Our accounting services cater to businesses of all sizes — from startups and SMEs to large enterprises and multinational subsidiaries. We provide bookkeeping, financial reporting, management accounts, accounts payable/receivable management, payroll processing, bank reconciliations, fixed asset registers, and year-end financial statement preparation. All accounting work is performed in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), ensuring your books are audit-ready at all times.
On the VAT front, our certified tax agents handle VAT registration, VAT return filings (quarterly or monthly), VAT refund claims, VAT deregistration, voluntary disclosures, and reconsideration requests with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). We ensure that your VAT calculations are accurate, your input VAT is properly claimed, and your output VAT is correctly accounted for — minimizing tax exposure while maintaining full compliance.
With the introduction of UAE Corporate Tax (9% on profits above AED 375,000), we also offer comprehensive Corporate Tax advisory services including tax registration, taxable income computation, group structuring for tax efficiency, transfer pricing documentation, and filing of corporate tax returns. Our experts stay updated on every FTA clarification and decree to ensure your business remains fully compliant.
We also provide audit support services — coordinating with external auditors, preparing audit schedules, and ensuring smooth completion of statutory and internal audits. For businesses that don't require a full-time CFO, our outsourced CFO services offer high-level financial strategy, cash flow management, budgeting, forecasting, and investor reporting at a fraction of the cost.
Whether you need basic bookkeeping or sophisticated tax planning, Arab East Consulting delivers reliable, accurate, and timely financial services that give you peace of mind and let you focus on growing your business.
Education is the foundation of every great future, and selecting the right institution can profoundly shape a student's career trajectory. Arab East Consulting's Educational Consulting services guide students, parents, and professionals in navigating the complex landscape of global education — connecting them with prestigious universities, colleges, and specialized institutions around the world.
Our educational advisors offer personalized counselling sessions to understand each student's academic background, career goals, financial considerations, and lifestyle preferences. Based on this comprehensive profile, we recommend institutions and programs that align with their ambitions — be it undergraduate degrees, postgraduate studies, MBA programs, PhD research, vocational training, or short-term certification courses.
We work with top universities across the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, France, Netherlands, UAE, and other study destinations. Our services include university shortlisting, course selection, application drafting, statement of purpose (SOP) writing, letter of recommendation (LOR) preparation, scholarship guidance, and admission interview preparation.
Beyond admissions, we provide comprehensive student visa assistance — including documentation, financial proof preparation, embassy interview coaching, and post-visa landing support. Our success rate in securing student visas is among the highest in the industry, thanks to our meticulous attention to detail and deep understanding of each country's immigration requirements.
For students preparing for standardized tests, we offer guidance and resources for IELTS, TOEFL, GRE, GMAT, SAT, ACT, PTE, and other entrance examinations. We connect students with reputable coaching partners to ensure they achieve the scores needed for their target programs.
Our service doesn't end with admission — we also assist with accommodation arrangements, airport pickup coordination, opening student bank accounts in the destination country, health insurance, part-time work guidance, and ongoing support throughout the student's academic journey. We even assist parents who wish to relocate with their children through dependent visa options where applicable.
Investing in education is investing in the future — and with Arab East Consulting by your side, that future is in expert hands.
The UAE Golden Visa is a long-term residency program that allows foreign nationals to live, work, and study in the UAE without the need for a national sponsor — and with 100% ownership of their businesses on the mainland. Introduced as part of the UAE's vision to attract global talent, investors, and innovators, the Golden Visa offers 5-year and 10-year renewable residency permits to qualified individuals and their families. Arab East Consulting's Golden Visa Advisory makes this prestigious status accessible through expert guidance and seamless processing.
Eligibility for the Golden Visa spans multiple categories. Investors can qualify through real estate investments (minimum AED 2 million), public investment funds, or company formation. Entrepreneurs with innovative business projects, especially those approved by accredited business incubators, can also apply. Specialized talents — including doctors, scientists, researchers, engineers, IT specialists, artists, athletes, and cultural figures — are eligible based on their achievements and contributions. Outstanding students with exceptional academic records and high school toppers are also welcomed under this scheme.
Our advisory begins with a complimentary eligibility assessment where we evaluate your profile against current Golden Visa criteria. Based on the most suitable category, we map out a customized application roadmap. Our team then handles all documentation including credential attestations, professional certifications, financial proofs, property valuations, business plans (where applicable), and supporting letters from competent authorities.
We coordinate directly with the relevant UAE government entities — including ICP (Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs & Port Security), GDRFA (General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs), and free zone authorities — to ensure your application is processed smoothly. We also assist with medical fitness tests, Emirates ID applications, biometric enrolments, and visa stamping.
A key advantage of our service is family inclusion. The Golden Visa allows you to sponsor your spouse, children (of any age), and parents — providing long-term security and stability for your entire family. We handle all dependent visa applications as part of our package, ensuring everyone is on the same residency timeline.
With the Golden Visa, you unlock numerous benefits — no need for a local sponsor, ability to stay outside the UAE for unlimited durations without losing residency, access to premium banking and credit facilities, ability to sponsor domestic help, and a clear pathway to UAE Citizenship in eligible cases. Let our experts make this transformative residency yours.
