An office that fits your licence, not the other way round.
I match the space to what your licence and visa quota need, and register the Ejari with it.
Your office decides how many visas your company can sponsor, and some activities need a specific type of space. Most people find this out after they have signed a lease.

Company structures
Office rules depend on the structure. Mainland, free zone or offshore.
Mainland licences need an Ejari-registered office. Free zones usually include a desk. Offshore companies do not need one at all.

What I check first
Where these files usually get stuck, and how I stop it.
I go through these before anything is filed, so problems are fixed while they are still cheap.
“Most of these come from files people bring me after another agent. Each one is easy to avoid if someone checks first.”
- 01Where it goes wrongLease signed before checking the visa quotaWhat I checkI confirm how many visas the space supports before you sign anything.
- 02Where it goes wrongSpace zoned for the wrong activityWhat I checkI check the permitted use against your licence activity first.
- 03Where it goes wrongEjari not updated after a moveWhat I checkI update the Ejari and licence address together, so visas are not held up.

Questions
Asked before, by people in your position.
Do I need a physical office?
Not always. Many free zone licences come with a flexi-desk. You need a physical office for some mainland activities and to sponsor more visas.
What is Ejari?
The official registration of your lease in Dubai. Mainland licences and most visa applications need it.
Do you charge commission on the rent?
No. My fee is flat. If a broker is involved, their commission is theirs, and I show it separately.
Can I change office later?
Yes. The licence and Ejari need updating when you move, and your visa quota may change with the new space.
Client words
Helping founders through the paperwork.
“He told me the government fee before I even asked. Nobody else did that.”
“One person answered every message, from first call to licence in hand.”
“The invoice matched the estimate to the dirham. That is why I refer him.”
“I compared four agencies. He was the only one who put both numbers in writing.”
“Licence, visa and bank account done while I was still abroad.”
“No surprise line items at the end. The final bill was the first quote.”
