Business Setup Services
MARKEF Consulting simplifies starting a business in Dubai by guiding clients through every step. Whether setting up in the mainland, free zones, or offshore, they know the local rules well and handle all paperwork from licensing to trade license renewal. Their team helps prepare business plans, gather documents, and ensure all forms are accurate and up to date, which speeds up approvals. MARKEF also assists with office space leasing and corporate bank account opening, two key parts often overlooked when starting a company. They help clients choose the best location based on their business needs, considering over 50 free zones available in the UAE.
Accounting and Tax Services
MARKEF offers accounting and bookkeeping tailored to each business’s size and requirements. They help keep accounts organized and ensure clients follow VAT and tax rules correctly. Their auditors perform financial checks to safeguard compliance while helping firms optimize their tax plans to save money and avoid risks.
Management Consulting and Advisory
Beyond setup, MARKEF helps businesses run better. Their consultants analyze current workflows and financial plans, then suggest improvements. They also guide companies seeking certifications like ADNOC ICV, which helps businesses compete for government contracts.
