Advised in English. Implemented by local experts.
We are not a licence factory. We first work out which structure holds and then have it implemented by people who know authorities, free zones and banks from the inside.
Why Exit Palm exists
Anyone moving to the Emirates finds two kinds of advice online: brochures promising everything and forums arguing everything down. The sober part is missing: which structure fits which activity, what it actually costs and what has to be settled at home first.
We built Exit Palm because we would have needed that advice ourselves. That is why a conversation comes before an offer, why you get the cost range before anything is commissioned, and why we also say when incorporating in the UAE is the wrong answer.
And that is why the most important sentence on this website is not a promise but a limit: we provide neither legal nor tax advice. For that we bring in licensed partners, early rather than once things are stuck.
The local implementation team
Implementation is handled by a team of Emirati and long-term resident professionals. We describe it as a team and not as individuals, because that is how it works.
Authorities
Licence, establishment card, entry permit, medical, Emirates ID. The routes are known, so are the people.
Free zones
Who runs which activity catalogue, which visa quota is realistic and which zone is currently working how fast.
Banks
Which bank currently accepts which structure, and which documents are actually required in the appointment.
Deadlines
Renewals, insurance, tax registration. We diarise the dates before penalties arise.
Partner network
Everything that is legal or tax advice is done by licensed partners. We coordinate and document.
Tax advisers in your home country
Exit taxation, permanent establishment, transfer pricing, ongoing filings.
Law firms in the UAE
Foundations in DIFC and ADGM, corporate documents, regulated activities.
Accounting and audit
