Overview

How we handle growth advisory

The structure that got you licensed is rarely the structure that gets you funded or acquired. Founders come to us when they are adding a second entity, raising capital, buying a competitor, franchising a brand or preparing to sell, and discover that their shareholding, IP ownership or free zone choice needs to change first.

We map the target state, design the group structure, sequence the corporate actions and run them: new entities, share transfers, holding companies in ADGM or DIFC, employee share schemes and the due-diligence data room a buyer or investor will ask for.

FAQ

Common questions.

Still unsure? Browse the full FAQ →

Do I need a holding company?

If you have more than one entity, outside investors or valuable IP, usually yes. A UAE holding company protects assets, simplifies dividends and is what most investors expect to buy into.

Can you help me buy an existing UAE company?

Yes. We run licence and immigration due diligence, coordinate legal and financial advisers and manage the share transfer and authority approvals.

Is this only for large companies?

No. Most projects are for founders between their first and third year who are raising a seed round, bringing in a partner or opening a second market.
