Business Scan 360: Express Review of Your UAE Company

Make sure that your company’s documents and obligations in the UAE are all in order — in just a few minutes.

The service “Business Scan 360” is designed for business owners, accountants, directors, and anyone who wants to make sure their UAE company complies with local legal requirements.

You answer a series of simple “yes / no / not sure” questions and receive either confirmation that everything is in order with your company, or a list of potential issues that need attention. In the latter case, you’ll immediately get recommendations — specific actions and services that will help bring your business into full compliance with UAE legal requirements.

Why is this important?

Avoiding fines and penalties: Non-compliance with legal requirements can result in fines reaching hundreds of thousands of dirhams;
Maintaining your license and legal company status: An incorrect or non-renewed license may lead to its cancellation and a complete halt of operations;
Uninterrupted banking services: Banks require full compliance with all regulations to open and maintain corporate accounts;
Maintaining your business reputation among partners: Companies that follow legal requirements earn greater trust from clients and partners;
Meeting international compliance standards (OECD, FATF): Ensures stability and credibility in the global business environment.

What you will get for free by completing our checklist:

A personalized assessment of risks and vulnerabilities of your UAE business — including licensing, fines, taxes, reporting, staffing, and other key areas;
Tailored recommendations for each point where issues or risks are identified;
A step-by-step action plan if multiple issues are found — to optimize processes and resolve existing problems in your business;
A consultation with an expert to discuss any questions and choose the best strategy for further actions.

Want to make sure your business meets all the requirements? Complete our checklist and find out whether you’re all set!

Please note!

If your company has no employees, please select “Not sure” for the items “WPS, ILOE”, and “Emiratisation”. Together, we will determine which requirements are truly inapplicable to your company and where there might be still some risks.

For more complex areas (AML, post-registration approvals, company cards), choosing “Not sure” is not a reason to postpone reviewing and resolving the issue. Violations in these areas can lead to significant fines for the company and its responsible officers.
