We advise corporate, private and international clients on the process of formation, incorporation or registration of legal entities with limited liability with or without (a) local partner(s) in onshore and offshore jurisdictions on the mainland and in the business centres, financial hubs and free zones.
Our network of local partners comprises members of the royal family, current and former senior administration officials and key businessmen and -women.
It depends on the requirements of the initiator(s) of a business or project and the activities as well as the organizational and operational structure of the business or project.
The process of formation, incorporation and registration is divided in three stages or phases. These are pre-licensing (to assess the possibilities, to evaluate the potentials and to determine the options), licensing (to apply for the licenses, permits and approvals) and post-licensing (to operationalize with visas, local facilities, bank accounts, insurances, and others).
We are working with the most relevant stakeholders in the countries to optimize the efficiency and to advance, enhance and improve the ease of doing business. Our experts and specialists understand their policies and procedures in detail.
We support our clients and customers in accordance with the requirements in pre-licensing, licensing and post-licensing matters as well as administration and compliance.
It includes without limitation or restriction the pre-selection and selection of a local partner, the mediation between the parties and the formalization of the relation between the parties (before the formation, incorporation or registration).
