Expanding your business internationally is a bold and strategic move. For UK-based companies, Dubai has emerged as a top destination to set up operations thanks to its world-class infrastructure, tax-free zones, and strategic location bridging Europe, Asia, and Africa. However, navigating the legal and administrative processes in a new country can be daunting. That’s where professional PRO (Public Relations Officer) services become invaluable.
MAF Businessmen Services stands out as one of Dubai’s most trusted providers of PRO and corporate support services, offering tailored solutions that simplify the setup and growth of foreign businesses in the UAE. Here’s how UK companies can benefit from partnering with MAF Businessmen Services.
Understanding PRO Services in Dubai
In the UAE, PRO services refer to government liaison services that help businesses and individuals manage documentation and approvals related to:
- Company formation
- License renewal
- Labour and immigration formalities
- Visa processing for employees and dependents
- Notarization and attestation of documents
- Trade license amendments
For UK companies entering Dubai, these procedures are essential but complex due to different regulations, language barriers, and document requirements. Hiring a professional PRO service provider like MAF Businessmen Services ensures everything is handled smoothly, on time, and in compliance with UAE laws.
Why UK Companies Choose Dubai
Dubai attracts UK businesses for several key reasons:
- 100% foreign ownership in many free zones
- Zero corporate and personal income tax in most sectors
- Business-friendly environment with strong legal frameworks
- Strategic global hub with excellent connectivity
- Diverse talent pool and access to regional markets
Yet, all these advantages are only accessible when the company formation and regulatory processes are executed correctly. This is where MAF Businessmen Services becomes a vital partner.
How MAF Businessmen Services Supports UK-Based Companies
1. End-to-End Company Setup
MAF provides complete guidance from the moment a UK company expresses interest in setting up in Dubai. Whether the business chooses a free zone or mainland setup, MAF assists with:
- Selecting the right business structure
- Registering the company name
- Drafting MOAs (Memorandum of Association)
- Handling all legal paperwork
- Securing licenses and approvals from DED or Free Zone authorities
This turnkey approach saves time, reduces confusion, and ensures a compliant and smooth launch.
2. Visa and Immigration Processing
For UK firms sending team members to Dubai, MAF handles everything from investor and partner visas to employee and dependent visas. Their services include:
- Visa application and renewals
- Medical tests and Emirates ID registration
- Entry permits and status change
- Family visa sponsorship
Having a dedicated PRO service means UK employers can bring in staff legally and without delay.
3. Labour and Employment Compliance
The UAE’s labour laws are different from the UK’s. MAF helps UK businesses remain compliant by managing:
- Labour card processing
- Offer letter attestation and employment contracts
- Employee registration with MOHRE (Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation)
- Labour bans and NOC letters
This allows companies to hire and retain talent while staying on the right side of the law.
4. Document Clearing and Attestation
UK documents used in the UAE often require legalization and attestation. MAF assists with:
- UK embassy and MOFA attestation in the UAE
- Translation and notarization of documents
- Trade license amendments
- Power of Attorney services
This support ensures all documents are accepted by UAE authorities and speeds up official processes.
5. Bank Account Opening Assistance
Opening a corporate bank account in the UAE can be challenging without the right guidance. MAF streamlines this by helping UK companies:
- Prepare all necessary paperwork
- Liaise with banks
- Understand KYC and compliance expectations
By partnering with trusted banks, MAF ensures a smoother process and faster approvals.
