Smart founders are using Dubai’s low-tax business environment to protect profits and unlock growth - without moving abroad.
We provide end-to-end support including company formation, banking, residency visas, and accounting. But unlike most providers, we also help you manage the tax implications on both sides.
With over 15 years’ experience in the UK tax system, and deep expertise in UAE structures, we’re uniquely placed to ensure your setup is both compliant and efficient.
UAE setups go hand in hand with our tax advisory services - helping you protect more of your profits with clarity and confidence.
We can also advise on expansion into other countries, helping you choose the best international structure based on your personal circumstances, business model, and growth goals.
If you’re feeling squeezed by rising taxes, economic uncertainty, and endless red tape, you’re not alone.
Many entrepreneurs are looking for legal ways to reduce their tax liability, protect profits, and expand internationally.
If structured correctly, it may be possible to reduce or remove corporation tax and sales tax obligations.
But the key is in the structure.
0% personal income tax
9% corporate tax*
Access to high-growth markets and investment opportunities
A business-friendly environment (and weather to match)
You don’t need to move permanently to access these advantages. But you do need the right structure.
Without proper planning, UK entrepreneurs often assume they can set up in Dubai and avoid tax - only to discover their business is still taxed as if it were UK-based.
With the correct structure, your Dubai profits can remain outside the UK tax net.
The biggest misconception we hear is: “If I open a company in Dubai, I won’t pay tax.”
The truth is, if you run that business from the UK, your income and profits will still be subject to UK taxes.
But when structured correctly, you could legally separate profits earned in Dubai from UK tax obligations.
This isn’t theory.
CEO, Simon Kallu, has done it himself:
Our Virtual CFO program fixes that with a simple 3-step process:
He was paying too much UK tax and struggling to grow in a flat market.
He set up a Dubai company, added UAE-resident directors, and restructured operations.
Today he runs a Dubai-based company that is not subject to UK corporation tax or UK VAT, while still remaining a UK tax resident.
“I did this myself and I also interviewed over 100 UK business owners setting up in the UAE - here are the most common mistakes they made (some of which could have landed them in prison).”

Yes. This is about structuring your business in a tax-efficient, compliant way. We work closely with UK and UAE advisors to ensure full legal compliance.
Not necessarily. We’ll explain how to structure your entity based on where you live and operate. Plus how that affects tax residency.
It can take as little as 2–3 weeks to fully incorporate your Dubai entity. The tax strategy can begin even before that.
Many of our clients set up a Dubai company to supply services, license IP, or create a parent company structure.
There’s always a chance HMRC could investigate - but our planning is built directly from UK legislation. That means everything we recommend is fully compliant and legally robust. If HMRC ever does raise questions, we’ll handle the responses on your behalf. And in over 14 years, none of our planning has ever been overturned.
We’ve helped multiple UK founders reduce their tax bill, unlock new markets, and set up their Dubai company the right way.
