Strive Superstars!

The entire Strive team have been superstars. Moving ourselves and business to Dubai for the first time we were quite concerned about which service provider to go with. However, from the first calls and interaction with the team to the final delivery of our visas we couldn't have asked for more.

Strive is not a low-cost option, but if you are looking for transparency, top notch online and local customer care plus a wealth of knowledge about business/tax in general then every i'd highly recommend the Strive team.

Irish setting up in dubai

I recently set up my company up in dubai with the help from Pali and the Strive team. From the first call with Pali I felt very confident that he was someone that know what he was talking about and I could trust to steer me right, there was no sales pitch or pressure to move quickly just a relaxed conversation full of information on the process what to expect and how they can help me once we have everything set up. This was very important for me as I can imaging setting a company up an getting a visa is one thing but to make sure that you are compliant with all regulations and ensuring that you will be eligible for visa renewal is another mine field and to have Pali and the team keeping me right is a grate peace of mind. Full transparency on the costs and requested payment in stages as the prosess progressed not the everything up front then we start working approch other companys take. The process in dubai for the medical and biometrics was effortless for me as Karisma had everything setup and ready to go I chosen to go for the fast track option and I would definatly recommend if your the kinda person that likes things to move fast and smooth. Communication through out everything was fantastic any consern was a whatapp message away and i had updates on everything as soon as they had them not once did i feel disconnect or unsure where the prosess was at. A massive thanks to Pali, Karisma and the team for there fantastic work and I really can't recommend them enough

Exceptional service from first moment of contact back in the UK, through zoom fact finding call, behind the scenes admin and the essential coordination on the ground in Dubai.

I literally arrived Sunday night and I fly back 6 days later with the Free Zone company previously formed, now legitimised and my personal status as General Manager cemented. And through good organisation by Strive (and a little luck) I even leave with physical Emirates ID card in hand. Thank you.

Knowledgeable, efficient with a high level of service

As a first time founder Strive's honest and knowledgeable advice on the pros and cons of a variety of different approaches to incorporating my business put me at ease immediately.

Their service level was exceptional - quick responses and proactive management of the workflow between the free zone and myself saved me time and bureaucratic headaches.

I set them an aggressive timeline in getting the business stood up and VISAs approved which they met very comfortably.

Trustworthy, Reliable & Helpful

Strive made it very easy to understand the process involved to get set up and relocated to the UAE and is extremely knowledgeable on the different ways to get your business incorporated in the UAE & it’s free-zones. With a consultative & personable approach Strive are very good at making sure the way forwards is best suited for your personal needs. As someone who’s naturally cautious with these things, take it from me, you can put your trust in Strive to help.

I have considered setting up a company in the Dubai for a couple of years but have never found a setup consultancy that I could comfortably place my trust in. The process from start to finish has been seamless from the Strive team and effortless from our side, meaning we can focus on running our hectic lives. Karisma has been superb and Pali has been massively supportive with all my random questions throughout the process. I cant recommend Strive highly enough and these guys are doing setup consultancy, right!

We've used Strive to help with our relocation to Dubai and helping us to set up with Remote Working Visas. The team at Strive have been fantastic. Pali and Joanna have been incredible help and always available to answer my questions (and there has been a lot)! I couldn't recommend them more if I tried. Great communication, helpful whilst living both in the UK and the UAE and they've been able to make this transition very smooth and stress free. Thank you so much guys. We will definitely be using you again for further business needs!

Strive is special because they act with appreciation from a business operator's perspective.

They are not just processing paperwork, it's consultative and they factor in so much more about how a business owner works. You are literally getting advice from seasoned entrepreneurs. This makes such a difference in the depth they understand your business and the advice you get.

Have had a great experience the three times I have worked with the team. Take the free consultation.

My experience with Strive was exceptional. I was introduced to Strive, by a friend and they assured me they could help me. They promised a smooth transition, and they delivered everything they said they would and more. In addition to their reliable and high-quality service, they made us feel comfortable in Dubai, going above and beyond our expectations.

I cannot recommend Strive enough to anyone looking for a business set-up service that is top-notch, dependable, and genuinely cares about its clients. Strive is a company that delivers on its promises, and I'm grateful to have worked with them.
