What Our Corporate Services in Dubai Cover
As a full-service corporate service provider in Dubai, Takween Advisory manages every stage of your business lifecycle - from initial setup through to ongoing compliance and expansion.
Company Formation and Trade Licence Registration
We handle mainland company formation through DED, free zone company setup across 30+ UAE free zones, and offshore company formation through RAK ICC and JAFZA. This includes trade name approval, Memorandum of Association drafting, activity selection, initial approval, and final licence issuance. We also handle branch office registration and representative office setup for foreign companies entering the UAE market. See our full business setup services in Dubai.
PRO Services and Government Liaison
We act as your appointed Public Relations Officer across all UAE government departments - MOHRE, GDRFA, ICP, DED, Dubai Municipality, RERA, and free zone authorities. This covers new employee work permit applications, visa status changes, labour card renewals, Ejari registration, and all document submissions requiring physical attendance at government counters.

Visa and Immigration Services
We process the full spectrum of UAE residence visas - employment visas, investor visas, Golden Visas, retirement visas, family visas, and freelancer permits. Each application is managed end to end: entry permit, medical fitness test, Emirates ID biometrics, and visa stamping. We track expiry dates and initiate renewals before deadlines to prevent status lapses. Learn more about our visa services in Dubai.
Corporate Tax and VAT Compliance
Since the introduction of UAE Corporate Tax under Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022, every UAE business must maintain IFRS-compliant records and file annual Corporate Tax returns with the FTA. We handle Corporate Tax registration, VAT registration, quarterly VAT return filing, Economic Substance Regulation notifications, and Ultimate Beneficial Owner register maintenance - ensuring your business stays compliant across all FTA obligations. See our corporate tax services and VAT registration services.
Corporate Bank Account Opening
Opening a UAE corporate bank account requires a well-prepared KYC package, the right bank selection for your business profile, and experienced follow-up through compliance review. We prepare your business plan, ownership structure documentation, and source of funds narrative, then manage submissions across Emirates NBD, ADCB, Mashreq, FAB, Dubai Islamic Bank, and other UAE-licensed banks. See our banking assistance services.
Trade Licence Renewal and Amendments
Trade licences in Dubai expire annually. Late renewal attracts DED fines of AED 250 per month for mainland licences and equivalent penalties from free zone authorities. We track every licence expiry date in your portfolio, prepare renewal documents, and process submissions before the deadline. We also handle licence amendments - activity additions, trade name changes, shareholder changes, and legal structure conversions.
Document Attestation and Clearing
Foreign documents used in UAE company formation, visa applications, or court proceedings must be attested through a multi-stage process - home country notarisation, UAE embassy attestation, and UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs legalisation. We manage the full attestation chain and coordinate legal translation into Arabic where required.
Company Liquidation and Visa Cancellation
Closing a company in Dubai requires cancelling all employee and dependent visas first, then deregistering with MOHRE, settling outstanding licence fees, publishing a liquidation notice, and obtaining a no-objection letter from the relevant authority. We manage the correct sequence to prevent fines, immigration blocks, or travel bans arising from an incorrectly processed closure.
How Our Corporate Service Process Works
Step 1 - Initial Assessment
We review your business activity, ownership structure, target market, and compliance status. For new setups, we identify the right jurisdiction and legal structure. For existing businesses, we audit current licence status, visa portfolio, and outstanding compliance obligations before any work begins.
Step 2 - Document Preparation
We prepare, review, and organise every document required for your specific service - whether that is a trade licence application, visa entry permit, Corporate Tax registration, or bank account KYC package. Foreign documents are coordinated for attestation and Arabic translation where required.
Step 3 - Government Submission and Follow-Up
We submit directly to the relevant authority - DED, GDRFA, MOHRE, ICP, FTA, or the relevant free zone - and track the application through to approval. We handle all follow-up queries, additional document requests, and compliance checks on your behalf without requiring your involvement at every step.
Step 4 - Delivery and Ongoing Support
Once your licence, visa, registration, or approval is issued, we update your compliance calendar and schedule the next renewal. Ongoing corporate service clients receive advance alerts before every expiry date, access to our advisory team for day-to-day queries, and priority processing for time-sensitive submissions.
