Establishing an international operating base.

An Indian business planning a UAE presence may need to choose between operating structures, licensing routes, commercial arrangements and their tax and banking implications. The right choice depends on what the business will do, where customers and employees are, how revenue is earned and which activities need authorisation.

/ 05INCLUDED AND EXCLUDED

Clear terms.

UNBOUNDED's role is research and coordination. Regulated legal, tax, audit, financial and other professional advice is provided only under separate engagements.

Excluded

Incorporation filings, licence applications, bank account opening and tax advice are performed by licensed providers under their own engagements, never by UNBOUNDED.

Fees

Submitting a requirement is free. A coordination fee, where one applies, is agreed in writing once the scope is known. Professional fees are agreed with the firms directly.

No referral fees

UNBOUNDED never takes a referral or success fee from any firm.

Confidential by default

Nothing confidential is needed at first contact. Private requirements are never used as general research or for AI training.

ILLUSTRATIVE SCENARIO

A Bengaluru software company wants a Dubai entity to contract with Gulf clients and employ a small sales team. It must compare a free-zone licence with a mainland licence, and understand UAE corporate tax, visas and banking before choosing.

This example describes a typical situation for explanation only. It does not describe a client, a result or an endorsement.

How to proceed.

Submit the business objective. UNBOUNDED reviews the appropriate next step and, where relevant, proposes a scoped Corridor File.
