Ich habe meine Firmengründung in Dubai gemeinsam mit Global Setup umgesetzt und bin mehr als zufrieden. Von der ersten Kontaktaufnahme bis zur finalen Umsetzung wurde ich professionell, schnell und vor allem transparent begleitet. Besonders schätze ich, dass das Team deutschsprachig ist und man sich dadurch in einem doch komplexen Umfeld sofort verstanden und gut aufgehoben fühlt. Jede meiner Fragen wurde ausführlich beantwortet, und man merkt, dass hier echte Expertise vorhanden ist. Für alle, die über eine Firmengründung oder Auswanderung nach Dubai nachdenken: Absolute Empfehlung! Vielen Dank an das gesamte Team für die großartige Unterstützung!

Wir haben in Dubai eine Firma gegründet und wir wurden von Anfang an hervorragend begleitet. Besonders die Unterstützung beim Family Visum war einfach top 👍 für uns als Familie mit zwei Kindern ein sehr wichtiger Schritt. Alle Formalitäten wurden uns abgenommen, alles lief reibungslos und stressfrei. Wir konnten uns darauf verlassen, dass wirklich an alles gedacht wurde, damit wir gemeinsam als Familie in Dubai starten können. Absolute Empfehlung für alle, die nicht nur eine Firma gründen, sondern auch ihre Familie mitnehmen möchten.

Had several questions about company formation and banking in Dubai. Clemens and his team were super helpful even before hiring them.

Later on I decided to go with them as I wanted professional support and the whole process from free zone setup to the account opening was very smooth.

10/10 I can definitely recommend them!
