Introduction
As Mobiversa, a fintech company headquartered in Asia, looked to establish and expand its presence in the GCC region, the company required expert support to navigate the UAE’s complex regulatory landscape and identify the right jurisdiction for its operations. Acclime UAE became a trusted partner to support this.
The challenge
As part of its expansion strategy, Mobiversa aimed to market its payment solutions to clients and prospects across the GCC region. To do so effectively, the company required an on-ground presence in the UAE for its marketing representatives, who would also travel across neighbouring markets such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
In the mid-term, Mobiversa also sought to relocate its developer and maintenance teams to the UAE to better support regional clients. However, dealing with the complexities of the UAE’s more than 40 free zones and mainland regulations posed a challenge. The company needed expert guidance to identify the most suitable jurisdiction for establishing its operations.
The solution
After a comprehensive assessment of Mobiversa’s short and mid-term objectives, Acclime UAE recommended two potential free zones, Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) and Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), as ideal options for setting up their regional entity.
Through multiple calls, physical meetings and timely responsiveness, Acclime UAE provided detailed insights into the compliance, accounting and tax requirements of each free zone. The team also guided Mobiversa on office space options, employment regulations and labour law requirements, even arranging site visits to the recommended free zones and real estate facilities.
Following these consultations, Mobiversa chose to establish its UAE entity in the DWTC Free Zone, leasing office space there and engaging Acclime UAE to manage incorporation and full back-office administration.
Acclime UAE’s scope of services included:
- Entity incorporation and document legalisation
- Corporate secretarial support
- Monthly accounting and bookkeeping
- Tax compliance (VAT and corporate income tax registration and filings)
- HR and payroll services, including visa processing for employees
The result
With Acclime UAE’s end-to-end support, Mobiversa successfully established its operations in Dubai and built a compliant foundation for future growth across the GCC. The partnership enabled the company to focus on expanding its fintech solutions while Acclime managed its regulatory, accounting and HR administration.
Mobiversa now operates confidently in the UAE market, strategically positioned to scale its development and client servicing capabilities in the region.
