Why the UAE

Since 2021, most mainland activities have allowed 100% foreign ownership, and free zones have always offered it, so opening an accounting firm in the UAE as a Belgian founder no longer requires a local partner. Banking, logistics, telecoms and digital government services in the UAE are among the most advanced in the region, which keeps the running costs of opening an accounting firm in the UAE as a Belgian founder predictable.

Why GoldenKey

Day to day, because GoldenKey works with the licensing authority, the immigration department and the banks every single week, we know exactly which paperwork each of them will ask for on an IFZA Free Zone file. Just as important, after your IFZA Free Zone licence is released, the same team handles renewals, visa additions, amendments and tax registrations, so you never have to explain your business twice. Our office is a short drive from the Ajman Free Zone, Ajman DED and the immigration centre, so physical submissions for opening an accounting firm in the UAE as a Belgian founder happen the same day they are ready.
