  • Setting up a new company in the UAE, or an existing company needing banking
  • Clear business activity, ownership structure and source of funds
  • Trade licence issued, or in the process of being issued
  • Supporting KYC and corporate documentation available
  • Genuine operating business, not a shell arrangement
