Substance check

Is your UAE company compliant?

Already have a company in the UAE? A UAE licence alone does not necessarily mean your structure is fully compliant.

What we review

Having a UAE Free Zone or Mainland company is only the first step. To keep a compliant and internationally defensible structure, your company must meet the substance, governance, tax and operational requirements that apply to its activities. Our Substance Check reviews your existing structure and identifies compliance risks and areas to improve.

More than a registered UAE company

A UAE trade licence and registered address alone may not be enough to show that a company is genuinely managed and operated from the UAE. The right level of substance depends on your activities, ownership, transactions and international structure. We assess both the legal setup and the practical operation of your UAE company, helping you build a structure that is compliant, transparent and ready for international business.

Especially important for international structures

Substance matters most when a UAE company is part of an international structure, conducts cross-border transactions, provides services to related companies, or has shareholders and directors residing outside the UAE. We consider your UAE company in the wider context of its international activities, helping identify issues before they become a tax, banking or compliance risk.
