What we do

One partner for the whole company lifecycle

In plain terms

DMCS is a mainland specialist. We set the company up, get banking live, and place people on visas.

4+Authorities cleared: MOHRE, GDRFA, DED, MOFA
One deskVisas, IDs, labour cards, attestation
No queuesWe submit and follow up in person

Most commercial activities now allow 100% foreign ownership, with no UAE national agent required. You can file much of this yourself; what you are buying back is the time lost to queues, rejections, and resubmissions, and a structure built so the bank account opens the first time.

FAQ

The questions every founder asks

The whole setup. We handle DET licensing, trade name and initial approval, MOA notarisation, Ejari, the establishment card, investor and staff visas through GDRFA and ICP, Emirates ID, the corporate bank application, and FTA VAT and corporate tax registration. One desk, one point of contact, from first call to renewal.
Yes. Annual DET license renewal (typically AED 15,000-30,000 from year two), visa renewals, accounting, VAT filing, and corporate tax registration and returns are all ongoing services. Many clients stay with us for FTA compliance long after formation, because the same desk that built the file keeps it clean.
No. We are mainland only, and have been since 2009. If a free zone genuinely fits your case better, we will tell you and point you to the right specialist rather than sell you the wrong structure. That focus is the whole point of working with a specialist.
