Corporate Services & Business Setup

Irth Tech administers the full corporate lifecycle of a United Arab Emirates company — from incorporation and licensing through governance, ownership changes, immigration and renewals, to VAT registration and ongoing regulatory compliance.

01

Company Formation and Licensing

We advise on the jurisdiction and legal form that suit your intended activity, ownership and visa requirements, then manage the incorporation from name reservation through to issued trade licence and establishment card.

  • Free zone versus mainland jurisdiction comparison
  • Selection and approval of licensed business activities
  • Trade name reservation and initial approval
  • Preparation and submission of the application file
  • Shareholder and manager documentation, attestation and translation
  • Memorandum and Articles of Association drafting
  • Licence issuance and establishment card
  • Office or flexi-desk arrangement with the authority
  • Post-incorporation registration formalities

Jurisdiction advice is based on the activity, ownership and visa requirements you describe. Final approval of any activity, trade name or structure rests with the relevant licensing authority.

02

Corporate Governance and Board Resolutions

Corporate secretarial support so that decisions taken by shareholders and directors are properly documented and acceptable to authorities, banks and counterparties.

  • Drafting of shareholder and board resolutions
  • Appointment and removal of managers and directors
  • Powers of attorney and specimen signature documents
  • Notarisation and attestation coordination
  • Maintenance of the register of shareholders
  • Certificates of incumbency and good standing requests
03

MOA and AOA Amendments

Amendment of a company's constitutional documents when its structure, capital, activities or management change, including the authority approvals and notarisation each amendment requires.

  • Change of licensed activities
  • Increase or reduction of share capital
  • Change of company name
  • Change of registered address or premises
  • Amendment of manager or director powers
  • Addendum drafting, notarisation and filing
  • Reissue of the amended licence
04

Share Transfers and Changes in Ownership

Management of ownership changes from initial documentation through to the updated licence and share register, including the approvals required by the licensing authority.

  • Share sale and transfer agreement preparation
  • Shareholder resolutions approving the transfer
  • Authority approval and no-objection procedures
  • Incoming shareholder due diligence documentation
  • Notarisation and legal translation
  • Updated share register and share certificates
  • Reissued trade licence reflecting new ownership
05

Government and Regulatory Compliance

A structured calendar of the recurring obligations a UAE entity carries, with preparation of the filings and records those obligations require.

  • Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) register maintenance
  • Economic Substance Regulations notification support
  • Corporate records required under authority regulations
  • Compliance calendar with deadline tracking
  • Document renewal monitoring and advance reminders
  • Coordination with auditors and registered tax agents
  • Assistance responding to authority notices and information requests

Where a filing must legally be made by a licensed legal practitioner, an FTA-registered tax agent or a registered auditor, we prepare the supporting documentation and coordinate the appointment. We do not perform reserved activities ourselves.

06

Trade Licence Renewals

Renewal of trade licences, establishment cards, lease registrations and associated permits, managed ahead of expiry so that operations and banking relationships are not interrupted.

  • Renewal timeline tracking and advance notification
  • Preparation and submission of the renewal file
  • Lease or flexi-desk renewal coordination
  • Immigration establishment card renewal
  • Settlement of authority fees against official receipts
  • Collection and delivery of the renewed licence
  • Distribution of renewed documents to your bank and counterparties
07

Immigration and Labour Matters

Residence visa and employment formalities for owners, managers and staff, coordinated with GDRFA, ICP and MOHRE as applicable to the entity's jurisdiction.

  • Establishment card issuance and renewal
  • Entry permits and residence visa processing
  • Status change, medical testing and Emirates ID coordination
  • Employment contract preparation and registration
  • Labour quota and eligibility applications
  • Visa cancellation and transfer procedures
  • Dependant and family sponsorship applications
08

Bank Account and Corporate Documentation

Preparation of the corporate documentation packs that banks, landlords, insurers and counterparties request when onboarding a company, assembled to the standard each institution expects.

  • Corporate document pack assembly and indexing
  • Certified copies, attestation and legal translation
  • Board resolutions authorising account opening or signatories
  • Business profile and activity descriptions for onboarding forms
  • Ownership and control structure documentation
  • Ongoing supply of updated documents as records change
  • Document checklists tailored to the receiving institution

Important: we prepare and organise documentation only. Irth Tech is not a bank, financial institution or financial intermediary. We do not open accounts on a client's behalf, do not guarantee any institution's decision, receive no commission from financial institutions, and never hold or handle client funds. All account decisions rest solely with the institution concerned.

09

Free Zone and Mainland Authority Coordination

Acting as your coordination point with the government bodies involved in establishing and running a UAE company, so that submissions are complete and correctly routed the first time.

  • Free zone authorities and their registrar departments
  • Department of Economy and Tourism (DED / DET) offices
  • Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE)
  • General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA)
  • Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship (ICP)
  • Dubai Land Department (DLD) and equivalent property registries
  • Notary public and attestation departments
10

Corporate Records and Document Management

Maintenance of an organised, current corporate record for each client entity, so that any document a bank, auditor or authority asks for can be produced immediately.

  • Central register of all corporate documents
  • Version control on amended constitutional documents
  • Expiry and renewal date monitoring
  • Secure digital archive with controlled access
  • Original document custody arrangements where instructed
  • Periodic completeness review of the corporate file
  • Document sets prepared for audits and due diligence
11

VAT Registration

Support with Federal Tax Authority registration where you meet or voluntarily elect the registration thresholds, together with the record-keeping practices registration brings with it.

  • Assessment of mandatory and voluntary registration thresholds
  • Preparation and submission of the FTA registration application
  • Tax Registration Number (TRN) issuance follow-up
  • Tax group registration where applicable
  • Guidance on invoicing and record-keeping requirements
  • Amendment of registration details as the business changes
  • Deregistration applications when criteria are met
  • Coordination with an FTA-registered tax agent for filings and rulings

We provide registration and administrative support. We do not provide tax advice and do not act as a registered tax agent. Where formal tax advice, filings or representation before the FTA are required, we coordinate with an FTA-registered tax agent appointed by you.
