Emirates First Group, UAE-based leading business consultant, has launched e-First Global, its premium business set-up and investment advisory services to assist its expanding number of premium customers and large foreign investors in the country.
The launch of e-First Global, at Opus within Business Bay, comes at a time when business activities in the UAE resumed fully with investor confidence reaching new heights.
As per reports, despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the total number of active businesses in the UAE exceeded 650,000 in 2020, which indicates the growing business confidence in the country.
The immigration and business reforms, namely allowing foreigners to own a 100 percent stake in a mainland license without a local partner and the ten-year Golden Visa, in addition to the effective handling of the COVID-19 pandemic have encouraged a large number of wealthy people to relocate to the UAE and move or expand their business to the country.
“We have seen a sudden rush among foreign investors to set up businesses in the UAE. The demand for new business licenses went up in the last few months that necessitated the creation of a new premium business set-up and investment advisory services and we are happy to launch our VIP business services through e-First Global, part of the growing Emirates First Group of companies. The effective handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, rapid vaccination drive helped the UAE to return to normalcy, which turned the UAE as the safest place to do business in the world.”
Emirates First Group, which is expanding its operations in Dubai, is adding a number of branches to serve its increasing number of customers globally. Currently, the company operates through six branches, including two branches of e-First Global, a new premium services brand. The company has so far helped to set up more than 5,000 businesses in the UAE, mostly in Dubai, in the last five years.
“We are one of the fastest-growing business set-up and investment advisory service providers in the UAE. Over the last five years, we helped more than 5,000 investors establish their businesses with $136 million worth of direct investment into the UAE, which makes us one of the largest business advisors in the region. Over the last five years, these companies have had economic impact worth more than $1.3 billion on the UAE economy through employing professionals and their business activities,” Ms. Shahinoor Shah, Director of e-First Global, said.
The e-First Global has integrated a number of support services under a single window, to take care of all the investment needs including financial advisory, auditing and accounting, in addition to the government-related services.
“We have seen a rush among foreigners to either relocate their businesses to the UAE or expand their businesses into the UAE. This encouraged us to launch a new company to serve the elite clientele and offer them value-added services, including business advisory, office rents, visa, Emirates ID, finding a suitable home, business development, marketing and networking services,” Ms. Shah added.
