Logistics consultant in Lagos, Nigeria Trade license issued within 9 working days.
The client had been operating informally as a sole trader for seven years, invoicing clients in dollars but unable to open a correspondent banking relationship that international partners would accept. He needed a properly structured UAE entity to hold contracts, receive international payments, and give his business the credibility required to win larger freight management mandates. He had previously attempted to set up through an online incorporation service and was rejected at the bank account stage.
We assessed his business activity against three free zones and recommended IFZA based on his activity scope and banking track record requirements. We managed the full formation from name reservation through to license issuance, coordinated his establishment card, and introduced him to two banks with a pre-prepared company profile addressing the prior rejection. We guided him through the bank interview and ensured his supporting documents reflected the actual nature of his business rather than generic templates.
Trade license issued within 9 working days. Bank account opened at Mashreq Bank within 3 weeks of license. First international invoice raised within 30 days of incorporation. Client has since renewed his license and added a second shareholder.
