WhatsApp quoteA UAE business account is the step that turns your licence into a working company, and Mashreq NeoBiz is a sound candidate for many of the companies we form. GoldenKey does not promise bank approvals, because only the bank's compliance team can grant them; what we do is prepare your Mashreq NeoBiz application so thoroughly that there is little left to question. The most common businesses Australians open through GoldenKey are in education, construction, hospitality and sports, although Mashreq NeoBiz supports almost any activity. Australians are a community of more than 15,000 residents in education, construction, hospitality and sports, so the Mashreq NeoBiz authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Australian applications every day and process them without hesitation.
Why Mashreq NeoBiz
In our experience, having a UAE residence visa and Emirates ID for at least one signatory makes a Mashreq NeoBiz submission noticeably smoother. On the ground, account opening at Mashreq NeoBiz is a compliance process, not a sales process: the bank wants to understand who you are, what you sell, who pays you and where the money comes from. In our experience, many Australian founders run Mashreq NeoBiz companies alongside an existing business in Australia, using the UAE entity for international invoicing and regional sales.

Frequently asked questions
