Dear Hanoib,Hi @Barbara Roessle,
Good to have a person (company) hanging around here and help us.
I have some enqueries if I may:
1. Bank accounts want a proof of address. Now a lot of us will not live in UAE. Is this something that you can take care of, or is this what the free zone will do for us?
2. Can we switch from another freezone to yours?
3. What if we already have an IFZA setup (which a lot have) and we like to have you as an assistance expert. Can we switch easily?
4. I read about “-Tax Registration and Accounting Services (easy and cheap yearly packages)”. Can you please tell us how much this costs?
Thanks!
I am glad to help for any questions related to UAE company setup. FInd my answers below:
1. Bank accounts want a proof of address. Now a lot of us will not live in UAE. Is this something that you can take care of, or is this what the free zone will do for us?
We can take care of it, the Freezone does not offer this service.
2. Can we switch from another freezone to yours?
No, you cannot switch from one Freezone to another. You have to liquidate the old company and go for a new one. But if you already have a license and visa then there is no need to liquidate. We work with most of the major Freezones in the UAE and can handle your issues like renewals, amendments, visas, etc. no matter in which Freezone the company was formed.
3. What if we already have an IFZA setup (which a lot have) and we like to have you as an assistance expert. Can we switch easily?
You can easily switch agency. We can take over any time and handle your affairs. You just need to inform the Freezone directly. We can provide NOC template. But in case of DSL Dubai clients, IFZA is informed and we are one of their leading partners since long time with various awards. You can check with them directly.
4. I read about “-Tax Registration and Accounting Services (easy and cheap yearly packages)”. Can you please tell us how much this costs?
starting from AED 4400 for starter package upto around AED8500 for large firms.
Please let me know if you need further information
We are very sorry to hear that DLS Dubai seems to have ceased business. It was very sudden. Of course we can help any former client of DSL. Just let us know and we can handle renewals, amendments, compliance issues, NOCs, visas, bank account openings, tax packages, etc...I'm sure there are a lot of helpless former DLS clients looking for clarity and direction.
Have you guys considered putting together some welcome/transition package? Something like "These are the new requirements for your company to stay compliant / This is how we can help you / This is how much it costs".
I also expect many people need to renew their Emirates IDs in the following months, and will probably need someone to sort that out. Same as needing help with outgoing bank KYC requirements, compliance, etc.
It's a low-hanging fruit for you guys.
Most Freezones do NOT deal B2C and will ask the client to go back to their initial setup agency. In this case just let the Freezone know that you want to switch to a new agency and mention their name.
Thank youWelcome to the forum Emirates Setup, look forward to see you around.
