Whichever path fits, we set it up

From a straightforward Abu Dhabi or Dubai company to a regulated financial licence or a layered family-office structure. The assessment tells you which one fits, and some clients need a combination.

Company Formation — Mainland & Free Zones

Mainland for full local-market access, or a free zone for 100% ownership and lighter tax. Most Abu Dhabi and Dubai setups start here.

  • E-commerce
  • Consulting
  • Trading
  • Local operations

Financial Licensing — ADGM / DIFC

English common-law jurisdictions for regulated finance — asset management, advisory, and institutional structures under DFSA or FSRA.

  • Fund management
  • Financial services
  • Regulated advisory

Family Office & Holding — UAE + International

Layered structures for investors and family wealth — UAE operating entities paired with international holding and IP vehicles.

  • Family wealth
  • IP holding
  • Investor structures

International — Outside the UAE

For structures that need to sit outside the UAE — typically for fundraising, treaty access, or market presence.

  • Fundraising
  • Treaty access
  • Multi-market

Senior Consultants, Not Salespeople

You speak with people who structure entities for a living — not a call centre booking the cheapest setup.

Multi-Jurisdiction Range

We weigh the UAE against the international alternatives and tell you plainly when the answer is somewhere else.

Banking & Compliance Depth

We know which banks open which accounts under which structures. Setup advice without banking reality is half an answer.

Long-Term Partnership

Most of our work is with clients we incorporated years ago — corporate governance, compliance, and structure changes as the business changes.

When UAE is right, and when it isn’t

We recommend the structure that fits you, not a UAE structure by default. Usually that is the UAE. When it isn’t, we say so.

Planning to raise US institutional VC

US institutional investors expect a Delaware C-Corporation. A UAE entity is rarely an acceptable lead vehicle.

What we recommend: Delaware as the primary structure. Layer UAE in only if there is a genuine commercial reason.

Strong home-country CFC legislation

CFC rules can attribute UAE profits back to the founder in their home country, wiping out the tax advantage.

What we recommend: Coordinate with home-country advisors first. UAE may still work, but only after the CFC exposure is assessed.

EU digital business reinvesting profits

Estonia’s 0% tax on retained profits can beat UAE while the business reinvests aggressively.

What we recommend: Start with Estonia or another EU-aligned structure. Add UAE later if a relocation or operating arm justifies it.

Institutional fund or LP capital requirements

Most institutional LPs require Cayman or another established fund jurisdiction. UAE fund vehicles rarely qualify.

What we recommend: Cayman for the fund, with a UAE or UK management entity where it makes sense.

EU-facing holding or IP structure

Treaty access, withholding, and governance can sit better in a European holding jurisdiction than in UAE.

What we recommend: Look at Netherlands, Ireland, Cyprus, or Luxembourg first. UAE may have no role.

How we help — beyond company formation

The same advisory-led, licensed team handles the work that comes after the structure — government paperwork and long-term residency, in the UAE and abroad.

Common questions

The things founders and family offices ask before they start.

What makes TRUVIS different?

TRUVIS is advisory-first: company formation is the last step, not the first. It is a licensed UAE corporate services provider, not a referral broker. Every engagement produces a written recommendation, and its advice is grounded in banking and compliance reality.

Does the TRUVIS Hub assessment cost anything?

No. The TRUVIS Hub jurisdiction assessment is free and takes about 2 minutes. It compares ADGM, DIFC, UAE Mainland, and free zones to find the structure that fits your business.

Which UAE jurisdictions does TRUVIS Hub cover?

TRUVIS Hub covers ADGM, DIFC, UAE Mainland, and UAE free zones. It also flags when a jurisdiction outside the UAE — such as Delaware, Cayman, or an EU holding jurisdiction — fits your business better.
