United Arab Emirates

Business setup CRM for the UAE

Licensing, visas and renewals on one calendar

This is the one industry module built for a specific country. Mainland and free-zone formation, visas, corporate bank accounts, PRO work and renewals are modelled as records rather than as stages in a generic pipeline.

  • Engagements with tracks that run in parallel
  • A renewals and obligations calendar
  • A client portal scoped per engagement
  • Fees, disbursements and supplier costs kept apart

Locally

What is different about this in United Arab Emirates

The parts that are not the same as running the same business somewhere else.

  • Mainland and free zone are different work, not a dropdownJurisdictions, service definitions and their requirements are structured records, so an engagement knows what it actually needs rather than inheriting a generic checklist somebody edits each time.
  • Renewals are the recurring revenue and the recurring riskLicences, visas and compliance obligations are dated records with reminders scheduled against them. The firm that reminds a client first usually keeps the renewal.
  • Clients want status more than they want conversationA client can be given a login scoped to their own engagement. A portal client reads zero of the firm's other rows — they are dropped out of account membership at the database level, not shown a smaller menu.
  • Government fees are not revenueYour fees, disbursements paid on the client's behalf, supplier costs and partner commissions are four separate streams. A system that mixes them turns every margin question into an argument.
  • The week is Monday to FridayBusiness hours and timezone are account settings the assistant's schedule reads, so out-of-hours means the UAE weekend rather than a default set somewhere else.

Engagements, tracks and a gate on each step

A formation, a visa run and a bank-account application progress at different speeds for the same client, so they are parallel tracks on one engagement rather than a single line. Each step carries its own requirements, and a step that is not ready is a soft gate — visible, and not something that silently blocks the whole file.

02 / 03

The chase runs itself

Most delays are waiting on the client. The assistant reads the outstanding requirements on the engagement and asks for those specific things, on WhatsApp, and stops when they arrive. Anything that would be a filing, a submission or advice goes to a person — there is no tool that files.

Quotes that become engagements

Quotes with line items and send tracking sit in the same system as the work they turn into, so an accepted quote does not have to be retyped as a project.

The module underneath this page

Engagements and tracks for formation, visas, banking and digital retainers; a renewals calendar that runs itself; invoicing that keeps your fee separate from government charges; and a portal where the client does their own part.
