Your UAE provider handles the UAE. Who handles the exit?
Exit Side
Partner firms in the UK, Germany, and the Netherlands handle tax exit, capital gains, regulatory compliance, and wind-down of local structures.
Entry Side
WTP handles UAE company formation, banking, visa, tax residency, and substance — using our Banking-First methodology.
Coming from another jurisdiction? We coordinate with your existing advisor using our standard cross-border protocol.
We work with clients who need more than just a company registration
Restructuring
You're relocating your business to the UAE and need a structure that actually opens a bank account.
Tax Residency
You need UAE tax residency that withstands scrutiny from your home country's tax authority.
Golden Visa + Investment
You're investing in UAE property and want the visa, company structure, and tax planning handled as one.
Compliance Rescue
You already have a UAE company but your bank rejected you — or your substance is questionable.
Banking-First: the correct order of operations
Most providers register first and hope for the best. We assess bankability first — before you spend a dirham on setup.
Pre-Check
We assess your profile, source of funds, and flag potential issues — both on the UAE side (bank readiness) and the exit side (tax exposure, substance requirements).
Exit Coordination
We connect you with our partner firm in your jurisdiction — or coordinate with your existing advisor — to plan the tax-correct exit.
UAE Architecture
We design the right structure based on your banking profile, business model, and residency goals. Free zone, mainland, or holding — chosen for bankability, not just cost.
Synchronized Execution
Exit and entry happen in the right order. Registration, banking, visa, substance — timed to your tax calendar.
If you're still deciding between jurisdictions — here's how they compare
| Jurisdiction | Corporate Tax | Setup Time | Banking | Golden Visa | Substance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| UAE | 9% | 2-4 weeks | Strict but manageable | Yes (AED 2M) | Real |
| Singapore | 17% | 1-3 weeks | Easy | No | Real |
| Portugal | 21% | 4-8 weeks | Easy | Yes (EUR 500K) | Minimal |
| Switzerland | 8.5-24% | 4-12 weeks | Very strict | No | Real |
| Malta | 35%/5%* | 8-16 weeks | Moderate | Yes (EUR 700K) | Minimal |
UAE wins on tax rate, visa program, and speed. But only if your banking is sorted. That's where we come in.
How we're different from every other UAE provider

I already have a tax advisor in my country. Do I need your partner firm?
Not necessarily. We work with your existing advisor using our cross-border coordination protocol. If you don't have one, we can connect you with our partner firm in your jurisdiction.
What countries do your partner firms cover?
We have established relationships in the UK, Germany, and the Netherlands. For other jurisdictions, we either connect you with a vetted firm or coordinate directly with your advisor.
Who manages the process — you or the partner firm?
We do. WTP is the single point of coordination. You get one timeline, one project manager, one communication channel. Your exit advisor handles their scope; we handle ours; decisions are synchronized.
Can you guarantee the bank account will open?
No one can guarantee a bank decision. What we guarantee is that we won't start registration until we've assessed bankability, chosen the right routing, and prepared a compliant package.
I'm from a country not listed. Can you help?
If your profile passes our pre-check, yes. We work with clients from around the world. The key factors are source of funds, business model, and compliance readiness — not nationality.
I already have a UAE company but the bank rejected me.
Compliance Rescue is one of our core services. We assess what went wrong, restructure if needed, and re-apply through the correct banking channel.
Do I need to physically move to the UAE?
It depends on your substance requirements for tax residency. We design the minimum viable presence that satisfies both UAE regulations and your home country's exit criteria.
Your UAE structure is only as good as your bank account.
