The problem this removes
A UAE-licensed lawyer writes your market-entry plan: jurisdiction, structure, licence, tax, banking, hiring and the route to your first customers.
If this is you
- You have decided the UAE is next and you now need to know exactly how to enter it.
- Every consultant gives you a different answer and each one is selling a licence.
- You want the plan first, from a lawyer with nothing to sell you afterwards.
The cost of waiting
Choosing the wrong jurisdiction costs the licence fee, the restructuring and often a year of trading.

Before you buy
- Is this just a brochure?
- No. It is written for your business, your activity and your numbers, and it names the jurisdiction we would choose and why.
- Are you going to push me into a free zone you earn from?
- We take no commission from any authority or agent. That is why the plan is paid for.
- What if I decide not to proceed?
- Full refund any time before drafting starts, no questions asked.
- Can the same team do the setup?
- Yes, and the plan fee is credited against the incorporation if you continue with us.
- Is the price really fixed?
- Yes. The fee you see is the fee you pay for the scope written on this page. If your matter turns out to need something outside that scope, we tell you the price before any further work starts.
- Who actually handles my matter?
- A vetted, UAE-licensed legal professional experienced in this exact type of matter. You are given their name, not a ticket number.
- What if I picked the wrong service?
- We move you to the right one. If it costs less, the difference is refunded. If it costs more, you decide before anything is charged.
- What if nobody contacts me in 10 minutes?
- Your service fee is refunded. The clock starts the moment your payment is confirmed and it is recorded against your reference number.
Frequently asked questions

- What happens if Index cannot handle my request?

- No, unless the service expressly says they are included. Government, court, notary, licence, registration, translation and other third-party fees are shown separately before they are incurred.
- Is the work reviewed by a lawyer?
- Where the service involves UAE legal advice or legal drafting, it is reviewed or delivered by an appropriately qualified UAE legal professional.
