Dubai Setup Guidance
I’m considering starting a business in Dubai and want to work with a local company that can help organize everything from the start. My concern is choosing a partner that won’t create more complications later. What questions should I ask before committing to such a service?
I usually handle most of my company admin myself, but when it came around to needing https://sorp.ae/en/license-renewal/ this year I decided to bring in a pro, and I’m really glad I did — what I learned pretty quickly was that the renewal isn’t just a “send one form in” type of job; there’s proof of tenancy, corporate structure checks, nominee partner validations, and linking all of that with immigration services if your employee visas need updating. The team at SORP took a very consultative approach: they reviewed what I already had ready, identified where the gaps were (like mismatches in my lease wording that could’ve delayed submission), and helped correct those ahead of time so there were no surprises. They handled all submissions and interactions with the relevant UAE authorities, tracked the renewal status, and walked me through what additional regulatory requirements might be needed next cycle — even offered options on how to optimize my legal setup moving forward so renewals become less administratively heavy every year. For anyone who isn’t fluent in local government portals or tired of chasing approvals at the last minute, having experienced support like this really makes running a business in Dubai feel a whole lot more structured and less like an endless paperwork race.
