Excellence

I found Strive through online searching and I'm glad I did! They are a highly experienced and capable team of professionals who understand business set-up in the UAE - all licenses, banking, visa's, tax, and accounting. We received all licenses, registered for taxes and banking with Emirates. Their UK - Dubai setup meant for clear communication with all departments. We will be using strive for additional SPV structures in the UAE.

I couldn't be more pleased with my experience working with Strive.ae for setting up my business in Dubai and handling our family's visa processes. Their team's expertise and professionalism made what could have been an overwhelming process smooth and manageable.

What truly sets them apart is their patience and dedication to client service. They handled our countless questions with grace and thoroughness, never making us feel like we were being a burden. Their responses were always prompt and comprehensive.

I want to particularly acknowledge Dipesh and Juvy, who went above and beyond in their support. Their attention to detail and commitment to ensuring everything was handled correctly gave us great peace of mind throughout the process.

From business setup to visa arrangements for my entire family, every aspect was handled with the utmost professionalism. They demonstrated deep knowledge of Dubai's business and immigration requirements, making the entire process efficient and hassle-free.

Five stars without hesitation - I highly recommend Strive.ae to anyone looking to establish their business in Dubai or navigate the UAE's visa processes.

Outstanding Service for Setting Up a Business in Dubai

I cannot recommend Strive Accountants highly enough for anyone considering setting up a business in Dubai. As a business owner based in the UK, the prospect of navigating the complexities of company formation in a foreign country initially seemed daunting. The team at Strive made the entire process seamless.

From the outset, Strive demonstrated exceptional professionalism, transparency, and expertise. They guided me through every stage, from understanding the legal requirements and selecting the most suitable business structure to ensuring all documentation was accurately prepared and submitted. Their attention to detail and thoroughness saved me countless hours and gave me complete peace of mind.

One of the standout aspects of Strive's service was their dedication to communication. Despite the geographical distance, the team were always just a call or email away, promptly addressing my queries and providing updates. Their ability to simplify complex processes while ensuring I understood every step was truly commendable.

Strive didn’t just assist with the formalities; they also provided invaluable insights into the local market and practical advice tailored to my business goals. This holistic approach made a significant difference and helped me feel confident in my decision to expand into Dubai.

For anyone in the UK (or elsewhere) looking to set up a business in Dubai, I wholeheartedly recommend Strive Accountants. This team are a class act, and their unwavering support throughout the process was nothing short of exemplary. Thank you, Strive, for making what could have been a challenging experience an absolute breeze!

Best in industry. Trustworthy & Professional.

After researching the best companies to help me make the transition to Dubai for favorable tax benefits, I ultimately chose Strive Consultants—and I’m so glad I did. I spoke with a number of the established players out there, but honestly, many of them felt far more expensive and a bit less professional than Strive. I think it’s something about the way Strive is structured; they’re incredibly efficient and seem to pass those cost savings on to the customer, which was exactly what I was looking for.

Strive provided a truly customised solution for me (I live in UK). They helped me set up a Dubai-based company to manage investment portfolio. This now means I can gradually make the move to the UAE without a massive life disruption—especially since my child is still in school. This setup allows me to make the transition in a way that works for my life.

The team at Strive is knowledgeable, excellent with advice, and super efficient. Everything was handled online, exactly as I’d hoped, and it felt as seamless as I’d imagined. I feel very fortunate to have found this company, and I’m confident they’ll assist you with whatever you need.

Highly recommended... If you’re trying to figure out who to go with, definitely get in touch—you won’t be disappointed.

Strive the Number 1 Consultants in the World !!!!!

After having an initial call with Pali, it was clear to me that the knowledge and expertise held by Strive was well above all the other companies I had spoken to, and I spoken to at least 10 different companies.

Strive managed the formation of my company in the UAE, this included Visa's and also management of our monthly and yearly accounts.

The whole process was smooth, clear communication was keep throughout the process, any questions were answered quickly and promptly.

Pali and his team were always on hand to assist with pretty much any queries we had and could always point us in the right direction.

We continue to have a relationship with Strive and we consider Strive as our consultants for life.

I am so glad I made the decision to go with Strive.

Exceptional service !

Excellent service once again - Thank you

Excellent service once again - thank you to Karisma.

I used Strive last year to set up my company and visa/EID - they were excellent then, apart from being slightly unclear with timelines which caused a minor inconvenience.

However this time, they've been 100% bang on - Karisma who I dealt with to sort out visa's/EIDs for my wife and children has been absolutely fantastic.

She answered all my questions clearly and accurately, gave me complete information, and also went out of her way to get my my Emirates ID for 1 day so I can process my car rental before returning it to continue the visa application - this was crucial as doing the school runs without a car would have been a nightmare.

They are probably not the cheapest, but I belive this is very much a case of you get what you pay for - I've had to do literally nothing, they've organised everything from A-Z, and i've got my end result which is visa's and Emirates ID's for moving my family from the UK to Dubai - 5 Star service for sure.

Thank you very much to Karisma and the team, you've been excellent - if you need a company to get everything done in the easiest possible way, Strive and Karisma are the team to use.

I had heard good things about Strive and decided to reach out. We arranged a meeting at their offices in Downtown Dubai and immediately we felt a sense of comfort in the way everything was communicated. All the pricing was clear and clearly itemised, including all the ongoing costs relating to upkeep.

The company only took a week to become established and we were kept informed throughout the entire process through email and whatsapp updates.

Overall a true 5-star experience!
