Greek founder launches a car rental company in Fujairah

The starting point

A Greek entrepreneur from Athens wanted to launch a car rental company serving customers in the UAE and Greece. The priorities were a credible licence, a UAE 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 car rental & leasing 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 Greece. 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

With the licence and visa in hand, GoldenKey prepared the bank file and introduced the client to a bank suited to car rental & leasing. Corporate tax registration was completed within the FTA deadline and VAT registration was timed to the expected turnover.

The outcome

In practice, the business was invoicing clients 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 Greek founder considering car rental & leasing in Fujairah.
