- South African couple
- Location
- Durban, South Africa
Ghanaian-British entrepreneur in Manchester, United Kingdom Entity formed with professional services license.
The client was exploring a parallel revenue stream placing African healthcare professionals in Gulf hospitals. He wanted a UAE entity to anchor his Middle East and Africa operations, separate from his UK company which had different shareholders and a different liability profile. He was not planning to relocate but needed a structure he could operate remotely.
We structured a single-shareholder UAE free zone entity for him and advised on the most efficient approach to operating remotely, including flexi-desk requirements, bank signatories, and how to maintain UAE substance for his business activities. We introduced him to a UAE-based employment visa specialist for when he starts placing staff locally.
Entity formed with professional services license. Client is operating remotely from Manchester. First Gulf client engagement signed within 90 days of formation.
