WhatsApp quoteCrucially, many of our clients add a Singapore entity to their UAE structure because a Singapore holding company above a UAE operating entity is a classic structure for Asia-Gulf groups. Singapore company formation takes 1 to 3 working days (Monday to Friday) once paperwork are in order, and GoldenKey coordinates the local agents, documents and bank introductions from Ajman. GoldenKey has licensed legal consultancy businesses for clients in Singapore and knows which sub-activities to list so you are not asked to amend the licence later. Typical examples of this activity include corporate legal consultancy, contract drafting, compliance advisory and arbitration support, which can usually sit together on one Singapore licence.
Why Singapore
Documents for Singapore are collected and attested in the UAE where required, so you do not need to travel for incorporation. Reasons company owners choose Singapore include asia's most trusted jurisdiction, strong banks and fintech ecosystem, 80+ double tax treaties and english-language common law. For legal consultancy, Singapore offers the office options such a business actually needs and a visa quota that can grow with the team.

Why the UAE
From day one, since 2021, most mainland activities have allowed 100% foreign ownership, and free zones have always offered it, so legal consultancy in Singapore no longer requires a local partner. Day to day, there are no restrictions on repatriating profits or capital, so earnings from legal consultancy in Singapore can be moved to your home country or reinvested freely.
Why GoldenKey
Our quotations for legal consultancy in Singapore list every government fee and our service fee on one page, in writing, before you pay anything.
