Business Formation
Business Consultancy for Market Entry
A considered conversation before the commitments are made, so the structure you choose still fits in three years.
Overview
About Business Consultancy
Many businesses arrive with the question already narrowed to a licence type or a specific free zone. The more useful conversation starts earlier: what the business will actually do, who it will invoice, where its people will live and how it expects to grow.
AZAN's consultancy work answers those questions first. We set out the realistic options with their trade-offs, and we are equally willing to tell you when a simpler or cheaper route would serve you better.
How we help

- 01
Options, not a single pitch
You see the realistic routes side by side with the practical implications of each spelled out.
- 02
Cost drivers made visible
We identify what actually drives cost in your case - facility, visas, activity approvals - before you commit.
- 03
Sequencing advice
Knowing what to do in which order avoids the delays that come from tackling stages out of turn.

Regional perspective
Where your plans extend beyond the UAE, we factor that into the structure from the beginning.
