WhatsApp quoteA UAE business account is the step that turns your licence into a working company, and Wio Bank is a sound candidate for many of the companies we form. As a rule, wio Bank suits start-ups, freelancers and free zone companies with a resident owner, and its product range includes Wio Business account, virtual and physical cards, payment links and multi-currency. GoldenKey has licensed training institute businesses for customers in Wio Bank and knows which sub-activities to list so you are not asked to amend the licence later. Crucially, training institutes delivering certificates need KHDA (Dubai), ADEK (Abu Dhabi) or the relevant emirate's education authority approval. Online training and coaching businesses can usually operate on a standard professional licence.
