UAE market-entry advisory: structure first, then operate

Before you buy a licence, map activity, customers (UAE local vs export), visas, and year-two cost. Lexoford advisory helps founders choose a realistic entry path; we do not rank a “best free zone,” and we do not guarantee banking or visas. Company-formation service fees AED 4,999 / 5,999 / 9,999 are separate from advisory retainers.

Frequently asked questions

Advisory vs company formation - what’s the difference?

Advisory is about path, structure, and growth decisions. Company formation is licence filing coordination under a separate Lexoford service-fee package (AED 4,999 / 5,999 / 9,999 service-only; authority fees at cost).

Do you work with Chinese companies?

Yes. We run a China desk with English and Chinese support. We do not publish invented client percentages or rankings.

Is this legal advice?

No. Lexoford is not a law firm. When legal work is needed, it is delivered through a partner licensed practice; we manage scope and timeline.
