We are the inaugural supporters of French-speaking influencers residing in Dubai, and as such, we have introduced a tailor-made solution crafted exclusively for their needs.

Establish And Cultivate Your Business

We are establishing a Free-zone company that enables influencers to bill for their services (such as marketing and brand placement) or receive proceeds from their sales (including commissions and intermediation).
We provide assistance to influencers in opening a professional bank account. Additionally, we can assist in drafting and validating commercial contracts. Our services extend to managing accounts, including conducting annual audits and handling VAT declarations when necessary.

Residing In Dubai

Establishing a Free-zone company enables the acquisition of a residence visa, an Emirates ID (Emirates identity card), and a local driving license.
We also assist influencers in opening a personal bank account. Additionally, we provide guidance on selecting health, accommodation, and car insurance. If needed, we can facilitate connections with a real estate agent to help find a property in Dubai.

Extended Duration Investment

In many cases, influencers are youthful, and the predictability of their future earnings is occasionally limited for the long term.

We educate them to build financial investments that they have complete control over, without intermediaries. These investments are straightforward and easily convertible to cash. In doing so, we adhere to the principles advocated by John C. Bogle, the founder of The Vanguard Group, the second-ranked management company in terms of assets under management, and widely regarded as the pioneer of index funds.

A brokerage account with a reputable firm (such as Interactive Broker, Saxo Bank, Internaxx, SwissQuote) will be established in the influencer’s name, eliminating the need for intermediaries. The portfolio will comprise easily tradable securities known as ETFs, listed in Ireland for optimal taxation for Emirates residents. The influencer will receive guidance on selecting and distributing these securities (stocks/bonds), empowering them to make informed investment decisions by understanding their portfolio.

This is certainly not speculative; adhering to the fundamental philosophy of John C. Bogle, the belief is that, in the long term, outperforming the market is unattainable. The singular approach for long-term wealth growth is to embrace a “Buy and Hold” strategy.

This strategy appears suitable for young influencers seeking a dependable, long-term investment solution, especially if they lack a background in finance.

Our company has acquired expertise in the petroleum sector, specifically in the Oil & Gas industry.

Concerning a business associated with cryptocurrencies and NFTs, the DMCC Registry currently provides the following licenses:

7229-99 Services in Distributed Ledger Technology
This endeavor involves delivering database management solutions and supplementary services utilizing distributed ledger technologies, such as Blockchain. Entities engaged in this activity are prohibited from engaging in currency or cryptocurrency/commodity trading or establishing exchanges, as well as providing financial activity services, brokerage, or payment processing.

6599-92 Trading in Proprietary Crypto-commodities
This endeavor involves engaging in proprietary trading, specifically buying and selling crypto-commodities developed on distributed ledger technology applications.

7229-98 Metaverse Service Provider
Encompasses companies involved in creating and hosting digital virtual environments that facilitate simulated interactions among individuals. Entities engaged in this activity are restricted from issuing tokens traded on exchanges or engaging in the trade of crypto commodities.

Warming: Establishing a bank account in Dubai for any cryptocurrency-related activities remains unfeasible. However, we have identified a solution: a Swiss bank that allows the opening of an account for a company registered in DMCC. It is important to highlight that this bank stipulates the requirement for the company’s Manager to possess a residence visa for the Emirates.

Kindly be advised that there is no necessity to travel to Dubai for the registration of your company and the opening of its bank account. All procedures can be completed remotely!

Securing a residence visa necessitates your physical presence in Dubai. However, in this scenario, we can initiate the registration of your company before your arrival. This means you will only need to visit once, following the completion of your company registration, to obtain your visa.

We’ve designed a tailored solution for dropshipping professionals to address three key issues

• Establishing Personal Tax Residence in the Emirates (no income tax or payroll tax)
• Conducting the Sale of Goods without taxation on profits
• Ensuring Tax Compliance (VAT, etc.)

The solution comprises two elements

• Acquire a UAE Freelance license to secure a residence visa in the Emirates and open a personal bank account in Dubai. Simultaneously, establish a company in the USA with a dedicated professional bank account.
• Establish a non-resident, single-owner LLC in the United States. This LLC operates as “tax transparent,” implying that the taxation occurs at the partner’s residence country, not within the US company. Given that the partner resides in the UAE, this structure allows for tax optimization due to the absence of personal income tax in the UAE.

Advantages

• Comprehensive tax optimization for both corporate and personal aspects
• Residency in the Emirates
• Positive association with the United States
• Minimal overall cost for the solution

Disadvantages:

• Inappropriate for ventures with multiple partners (Involvement of multiple partners necessitates a variation leading to increased US tax implications).
• Unsuitable for intricate structures (such as holding companies).
• Lack of a dedicated professional bank account (under the company’s name) in the Emirates.

The United Arab Emirates stands as a premier choice for companies seeking to extend their footprint in the
Middle East region.

Navigating the importation of products into the country can prove to be a intricate process, particularly in
terms of adhering to regulations and compliance requirements. It is crucial to understand that obtaining a
customs code is mandatory in the UAE for individuals engaged in importing and/or exporting goods, particularly
for those involved in trade activities in Dubai.
That’s why numerous entrepreneurs opt to enlist the services of freight forwarders to assist them in navigating
these challenges.

On this page, we elucidate the significance of the customs code in the UAE and how it can contribute to the
success of businesses in this competitive market.

1. What Is An Importer Or Exporter Customs Code?

A customs code, alternatively referred to as an importer/exporter identification code, is a distinctive number
designated by the Dubai customs authorities to a company or individual involved in the import or export of goods
to or from Dubai. This code serves as a unique identifier in all customs transactions and is obligatory for any
importer or exporter conducting business in Dubai. Typically assigned after the company registers with the
customs authorities, the importer/exporter customs code facilitates the tracking of goods movement across
borders.

Entities, be they companies or individuals, lacking a customs code are prohibited from importing or exporting
goods into Dubai. Hence, it is imperative for companies intending to engage in trade with the UAE to verify that
their customs code is in order and up to date.

2. Is It Mandatory To Have A Customs Code To Conduct Business In The UAE?

Certainly, conducting business in the UAE necessitates the possession of a customs code. Any entity, whether a
company or an individual, desiring to import or export goods to or from the UAE must undergo registration with
the customs authorities to obtain an importer/exporter customs code.
This code not only enables customs authorities to monitor the flow of goods across borders but also aids in the
collection of appropriate taxes and duties, ensuring compliance with safety and quality standards for imported
goods.
It is crucial to highlight that having a customs code requires the mandatory registration of a business license
with the relevant UAE authorities.
In summary, the customs code stands as a pivotal component for any importer or exporter engaged in operations
within the UAE, serving as a means to ensure regulatory adherence and streamline trade dealings with customs
authorities.

3. Can I Be Exempted From Obtaining A Customs Code?

Should a company opt to utilize a distributor for the import or export of goods to or from the UAE, it is exempt
from acquiring its own importer/exporter customs code. In this scenario, the distributor serves as a registered
importer or exporter, utilizing its own customs code for identification in all customs transactions.

Nonetheless, it is imperative for the company to ensure that the distributor is duly registered with the customs
authorities and adheres to all relevant import and export regulations. Engaging a distributor can offer cost
savings and streamline customs procedures for companies, but it also comes with the potential for a loss of
control over the movement of goods and regulatory compliance issues if not managed appropriately.

4. Guide For Obtaining The Customs Code In DUBAI

The customs code functions as a commodity classification system utilized by customs to identify imported and
exported goods in international trade. If you are seeking to acquire a customs code in Dubai, the following
steps should be adhered to:

Once your application is approved, you will receive a confirmation email upon payment. In summary, obtaining a
customs code in Dubai involves identifying your product’s nature, consulting the Harmonized System database,
contacting Dubai Customs, completing the required forms, submitting your application, and awaiting confirmation.

Long Term Investment 

Athletes, often in their youth, may face uncertain future income or need to secure their financial future after
concluding their sports careers.

We provide training to help them establish financial investments that offer total control, eliminating the need
for intermediaries. These investments are designed to be simple and easily liquidated. To achieve this, we
follow the recommendations of John C. Bogle, the founder of The Vanguard Group, ranked as the second-largest
management company in terms of assets under management. Bogle is widely regarded as the father of index funds.


A securities account will be established with a reputable brokerage firm, such as Interactive Broker, Saxo Bank,
Internaxx, or SwissQuote, directly in the name of the influencer, eliminating the need for intermediaries. The
portfolio will primarily comprise liquid securities, specifically ETFs listed in Ireland, offering optimized
taxation for residents of the Emirates. The influencer will receive guidance on the selection and distribution
of these securities (stocks/bonds), empowering them to make informed investment decisions based on a clear
understanding of their portfolio.

Emphasizing a non-speculative approach, our philosophy aligns with John C. Bogle’s belief that, in the long run,
outperforming the market is implausible. The endorsed strategy for long-term wealth growth is a “Buy and Hold”
approach.

This method is particularly relevant for young athletes seeking a reliable long-term investment, even without a
background in finance.

The car rental industry is thriving in the United Arab Emirates, particularly in Dubai. With a continually
expanding tourist market and a growing population, the demand for car rental services is consistently on the
rise. The UAE provides a favorable regulatory environment for business startups, featuring relatively
straightforward administrative procedures. Car rental companies offer a diverse fleet of vehicles, catering to a
range of customer needs from economy cars to high-end models. Entrepreneurs and investors see car rental as a
lucrative business opportunity to expand in this dynamic and growing region.

For those interested in initiating a car rental company in Dubai, the following steps are recommended:

1. Select The Appropriate Register To Establish A Company In The UAE

When contemplating the establishment of a car rental company in Dubai, it is crucial to carefully select the
appropriate registry for registering your business. Dubai provides two primary options: free zones and Mainland.
It is essential to assess the unique requirements of your business to make an informed decision between a free
zone or the Mainland. If your objective involves establishing a broader presence in Dubai and engaging in
business with government entities, the Mainland may emerge as the most suitable option for your company.

2. Selecting A Name For Your Business In DUBAI

Selecting a name for your business is a crucial stage in setting up your company in Dubai. The chosen name
should aptly represent your business and be easily memorable for potential customers. It is imperative to ensure
that the selected name is available and complies with Dubai’s rules and regulations. Additionally, it is
advisable to check the availability of your chosen company name as a domain for your website, as this can
enhance your online presence.

3. Secure A Trade Name

Securing a business name is a vital undertaking when establishing a business in Dubai. This process involves
reserving the chosen business name, providing protection and exclusivity before completing the business
registration. It safeguards against others using the same name. The reservation of a business name can be
accomplished through the Dubai Department of Economy or by engaging the services of a company formation
provider, such as Merritt Middle East. It’s crucial to understand that reserving a business name is distinct
from registering the company, and the reservation does not guarantee automatic approval during the company
registration process.

4. Locate A Commercial Space

You must identify a commercial space for your business. The primary areas for establishing companies are the
mainland and the free zone. In this instance, our focus will be on establishment in the mainland.
For those opting to establish their business in the mainland, securing a suitable business premises is
essential. This involves acquiring physical space, including an office and a designated area, such as a “parking
lot” or garage, for your vehicles.

5. Acquire A Commercial License

Establishing a car rental business requires obtaining the appropriate business license. To acquire the necessary
license, you must engage with the Dubai Economic Development Department (DED). In this scenario, a professional
services business license is essential. The designated official DED activity is “car rent and passenger
transport” (code 771001), permitting the rental of cars without a driver for short durations.

6. Acquiring A Car Rental License: RTA

To establish a car rental business in Dubai, it is essential to apply for a No Objection Certificate (NOC) in
order to obtain a new commercial transport business license (for a new business/branch/meter) from the Dubai
Roads and Transport Authority (RTA). This license, issued in the form of a car rental permit, is a prerequisite
for operating a car rental business within the city.
The RTA, as the governing agency overseeing transportation services in Dubai, sets forth the main requirements
for obtaining approval to commence a car rental business:

• Obtain a valid business license.
• Maintain an approved fleet of cars in good condition, adhering to safety standards outlined by the RTA. In the
  initial year of your car rental company’s operation in Dubai, a minimum of 10 vehicles is required.
• Secure a commercial location for your car rental business, meeting safety and accessibility criteria
  stipulated by the RTA.
• Obtain comprehensive insurance coverage for your fleet of cars and provide proof of insurance before
  commencing car rentals.
• Adhere to the RTA’s prescribed rates for car rentals in Dubai.
• Register with the RTA as a car rental company and comply with all rules and regulations established by the
  agency.
  
  

7. Acquire Vehicles For Your Clients 

You must purchase vehicles for your car rental business, and they can be sourced locally or imported from
another country.

The manufacturing date of the vehicles should either match the date of registration or be within 24 months from
the registration date. However, certain vehicles are exempt from these requirements

• Vehicles valued at more than AED 600,000 with a manufacturing date equal to or less than 4 years. The
  vehicle’s value must be substantiated and documented.
• Vintage cars with a manufacturing date exceeding 30 years.
• Vehicles that have never been used.
