Who We Serve

Business Advisory Services for Every Stage and Type of Business

Startups & Entrepreneurs

You have the business idea; we handle the structure that protects it. From choosing the right free zone to opening corporate banking and processing your first visas, we deliver launches that are fast, fully documented, and built for what comes after registration.

Our team guides foreign companies through jurisdictional selection, regulatory approvals, corporate banking introductions, and market entry strategy, with full awareness of bilateral investment treaties, ownership rules, and sector-specific requirements.

Investors & High-Net-Worth Individuals

For private investors, family offices, and HNW clients, we provide advisory services across Golden Visa eligibility, holding company structures, asset protection, and integrated wealth planning. The UAE has become one of the most active jurisdictions for international wealth structuring, and the right setup at the outset can shape outcomes for decades.

FAQs

Business Advisory Questions, Answered

A business advisory firm provides professional guidance across company setup, regulatory compliance, banking, financial structuring, corporate strategy, and growth planning. In the UAE specifically, business advisory services span free zone and mainland licensing, corporate tax registration, ESR and UBO compliance, banking relationships, and long-term structural planning. The right advisor combines technical knowledge of UAE regulations with practical execution capability.
Costs vary by service scope, including company type, jurisdiction, visa requirements, and the complexity of your specific case. Takween Business Advisory offers transparent, package-based pricing for standard setups, starting from AED 4,888 for free zone company formation, and custom quotes for more complex engagements. We share all costs upfront, with no hidden fees or scope changes once an engagement begins.
Yes. Since 2021, foreign nationals can own 100% of a mainland UAE company across most commercial activities, alongside the 100% foreign ownership that has always been available in UAE free zones. Activity-specific restrictions still apply to certain regulated sectors, such as banking, insurance, and oil and gas, so the right structure depends on what your business actually does. Our advisory team identifies the best jurisdiction and ownership structure for your specific case.
Most company formations in Dubai complete within 3 to 10 working days, depending on jurisdiction, activity type, and document readiness. Free zone setups typically complete faster than mainland registrations. Visa processing adds approximately 2 to 4 additional weeks after the company is registered. Our team works to minimize back-and-forth with authorities and accelerate approvals wherever possible.
Free zone companies operate within a specific economic zone and are typically best for businesses serving international markets, B2B clients within their zone, or activities that benefit from the zone's specialized infrastructure, such as DMCC for commodities or DIFC for finance. Mainland companies can trade anywhere in the UAE, including direct B2C sales to UAE consumers, and have access to UAE government contracts. Both structures now offer 100% foreign ownership in most activities. The right choice depends on your customer base, operational needs, and growth plans, which our advisory services help you evaluate.
Not always. Free zone companies typically offer flexible office options including flexi-desks, virtual offices, and co-working arrangements, which keep setup costs lower. Mainland companies generally require a physical address with a registered tenancy contract, known as Ejari, though the size and type depend on the licensed activity and visa quota. We advise on the most cost-effective and operationally appropriate option for your business model.
