This illustrative scenario shows how a German founder set up an automotive trading company in Fujairah with GoldenKey; names and figures are representative of typical client journeys rather than a specific client.
The starting point
A German entrepreneur from Berlin wanted to launch an automotive trading company serving customers in the UAE and Germany. The priorities were a credible licence, a residence visa and a business bank account within a realistic budget.
Why Fujairah
After comparing options, Fujairah was chosen for its direct Indian Ocean port access and because automotive & spare parts trading is a well-established activity there. GoldenKey confirmed the activity code and the visa package in the first consultation.
The process
GoldenKey reserved the trade name, obtained initial approval and submitted attested documents from Germany. The licence was issued in line with the usual Fujairah timeline, followed by the establishment card, investor visa, medical test and Emirates ID.
Banking and tax
In practice, with the licence and visa in hand, GoldenKey prepared the bank file and introduced the client to a bank suited to automotive & spare parts trading. Corporate tax registration was completed within the FTA deadline and VAT registration was timed to the expected turnover.
The outcome
The business was invoicing customers within weeks of the first call, with a UAE address, a resident founder and a compliance calendar managed by GoldenKey. The same path is available to any German founder considering automotive & spare parts trading in Fujairah.
