Despite the stress of moving to Dubai, Strive made the entire process seamless and efficient.

Best business decision

Working with Strive UAE has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my business. From the very beginning, their team has shown incredible professionalism, responsiveness, and a deep understanding of the UAE’s tax and business environment. What really stood out to me is how personable and empathetic they are. They go beyond just giving generic advice and really tailor their guidance to your individual circumstances.
Whether it was navigating corporate tax, handling VAT queries, or just having someone I could trust to bounce ideas off. Strive delivered with integrity and clarity. They’ve made complex processes feel straightforward and manageable, and I genuinely feel like I have a partner in my corner. If you’re looking for a reliable, honest, and knowledgeable consultancy team, I highly recommend Strive UAE.

Made the move to Dubai simple and stress-free

I was nervous about setting up in Dubai because of all the rules and paperwork, but working with Strive took all of that stress away. They explained everything, kept me updated on every step, and were always quick to respond to my questions (even on WhatsApp). What I really appreciated was how transparent they were with costs, no surprises or hidden add-ons. It honestly felt like I had someone on my side who had been through it themselves. Thanks to the team, I could focus on growing my business instead of worrying about the process.

I cannot recommend this company enough. Ziyad and Zaina were so supportive and always there to help. I really appreciated that they made sure I was kept in the loop at all times. I had some complications which caused a setback in starting the process but they assured me it was all going to be fine and that was exactly the case :)

Would rate 10 stars if i could !

From start to finish, the process Pali and his team guided us through has been seamless. Pali himself as the company director always has time to make calls and answer questions. It was daunting at first setting up a cross border company operating in two countries but Pali has paved the way for us to be the most tax efficient on both sides and his knowledge in this area in very extensive in both jurisdictions.

The whole process from the team in setting up our freezone company was very fast and efficient.

I have since recommend Strive to friends that are also thinking to set up business in the UAE and will not use anyone else myself in the future.

I worked with Strive for business set up in the UAE plus residents visas and the whole process was simple and straightforward and I had the business set up and visas completed in just over 5 weeks. Communication from the start was quick and more importantly they did what they promised and on time. Most of the work was done remotely and the process in Dubai was very well managed.

I would definitely recommend Strive if you are thinking of relocating to the UAE.

The team at Strive were fantastic in supporting our entity setup. It was seamless throughout the entity setup and the support on the ground once I arrived.

The on-going support as we hired our first couple of employees' and the support on the accounting side has been spot on too.

I would highly recommend Strive to help you set up a business in UAE. From the UK I was very concerned that I would be spending a lot of money and would it be worth it. I can honestly say that Strive help me set up my business in Dubai and took me through all the processes from first engagement, to organising everything from setting my business up, sorting my business banking out, Vat registration basically everything. Well done team Strive and I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Never again

This company promised to have my trade license renewed in 5 days max, however they took 15 days, they were silent when I followed up and when they answer I only had vague reasons. It it pretty obvious that they didn’t not have a working process in place and they were all over the place. I would never use their service again, and this is the least I can say.
