Expert Business Setup in UAE - CFO Services & Corporate Advisory

Fundtec serves two client groups from one Dubai practice. The first group is operating businesses, including founders, family-owned businesses, holding companies, and international groups establishing in the UAE; for whom the firm provides incorporation, accounting and fractional CFO, corporate tax and VAT, and visa consulting. The second group is UAE asset managers and fund managers, including emerging managers, family offices, and external asset managers operating in ADGM, DIFC, and the wider UAE; for whom the firm provides CFO, COO, OMS or PMS, middle-and-back-office, and outsourced finance officer consulting.

Consulting. Where ongoing operational delivery is required, including monthly bookkeeping, quarterly tax filings, or fund operations support, it is structured inside a consulting engagement with defined scope and senior oversight, rather than provided as a transactional outsourced service.

An asset manager is a firm that manages investments on behalf of clients, typically through segregated mandates or discretionary portfolios. A fund manager specifically manages a pooled investment vehicle, such as a Qualified Investor Fund or Exempt Fund in ADGM or DIFC, with its own NAV cycle, administrator, and audit. Fundtec advises both, with practice areas tailored to the operational and regulatory differences between them.

No. Fundtec does not accept referral commissions from free zone authorities, software vendors, banks, or service providers. Recommendations are made on the basis of client fit alone.

From the first discovery call to a signed engagement letter is typically five to seven working days. Fundtec issues a written scoping memo within 48 hours of the call, allows time for the client's review, and onboards within a few days of signature.

Fundtec's office is at DSO-IFZA, IFZA Properties, Dubai Silicon Oasis. The firm advises clients across the seven emirates and within all major UAE free zones, including ADGM, DIFC, IFZA, DMCC, RAKEZ, Meydan, and Sharjah.

Our advisory fees are fixed, transparent, and detailed in a written scoping memo before you pay anything. While basic setup agencies advertise low upfront fees and charge extra for bank support, tax registration, or annual renewals, Fundtec includes full setup coordination, visa processing, and compliance structure in one clear agreement. Plus, because we accept zero vendor referral fees, you never pay inflated free zone or bank package prices.

Most trade licences across popular business setup in UAE free zones (such as IFZA, Meydan, or DMCC) are issued within 2 to 5 working days after document submission. Investor residency visas, medical fitness testing, Emirates ID processing, and status change typically take an additional 5 to 7 working days. Fundtec manages the entire process from initial filing to final residency stamping without requiring you to navigate government portals alone.

Yes. Unlike transactional setup vendors that disappear once your licence is issued, Fundtec integrates your setup with ongoing operational delivery. As experienced business setup consultants in UAE, we handle your initial company formation in Dubai or free zone registration, followed by corporate tax registration, VAT filings, and monthly bookkeeping inside a single, structured advisory agreement.

To begin your offshore business setup in UAE or free zone registration, you typically only need a clear passport copy, a passport-style photograph, proof of residential address, and three proposed business names. For corporate shareholders or complex holding structures, additional attested corporate documents are required. You can submit all documents securely through our digital portal during your initial discovery and scoping phase.
