About YABS · Dubai Business Setup

We’re Not the Biggest Dubai Setup Firm. By Design.

Since 2015, YABS has deliberately stayed small so that every client gets a senior partner on the first call, a Price‑Locked quote in writing, and a 14‑day license guarantee we actually back with a refund. 500+ companies formed. 4.9 stars on Google. Zero middlemen.

Why YABS Exists

Dubai Business Setup Was Broken. We Built the Alternative.

Before starting YABS in 2015, our founding team spent years inside the Dubai company formation industry. We watched founders get burned by the same four problems, over and over.

Hidden Fees, Discovered at Signing The “starting price” advertised online was never the price the client paid. Government fees, MoA notarisation, Ejari, translation — all layered on after the commitment. Four out of five major Dubai setup firms still operate this way.
Call Centres, Not Specialists Founders would speak to a new junior rep every call, repeat the same questions, and still have no idea who was accountable. Big firms boast 200‑person sales teams — which means your case gets passed between 8 people before your license is even applied for.
“Government Delays” as an Excuse Every missed deadline was blamed on “government processing” — often when the real delay was an internal document error on the consultant’s side. Nobody ever owned the timeline or offered a refund for missing it.
Silence After the Invoice Was Paid Once the license was issued, most firms disappeared. Corporate tax? VAT? Visa renewal? “Please contact our sales team” — treated as a new lead, not an existing client. Post‑setup support became an afterthought.
How We’re Different

Four Operating Principles, Not Generic Values.

Every other Dubai setup firm posts the same values poster: integrity, excellence, trust, innovation. Nice words. Zero accountability. YABS replaced them with four operating principles we measure ourselves against every single month.

01

Every Fee Published Before You Pay

Every YABS quote lists government fees, our service fee, and any add‑ons in writing before any payment is taken. If the price changes for any reason inside our control, we absorb the difference. We call this the Price Lock Guarantee, and it’s written into every contract.

02

Every Deadline Guaranteed, or We Refund

Your trade license is issued within 14 working days of document submission — or we refund 20% of our service fee. No other Dubai setup firm publishes a written timeline guarantee. In 2025 we hit the deadline on 485 of 487 completed setups.

03

Every Call With a Senior Partner

No call centres. No junior reps reading scripts. Your first call is with a YABS partner who stays with you from the initial consultation through your license, visa, Emirates ID, and bank account. Same person, same number, same accountability.

04

Every Bank Intro Prepared Properly

We draft your KYC against each bank’s actual internal risk policy — not a generic template. That’s why our corporate bank account approval rate sits above 90% across Emirates NBD, Mashreq Neo Biz, WIO, RAKBank, and ADCB, when the market average is below 60%.

2025 Accountability Report

The Only Dubai Setup Firm That Publishes Its Scorecard.

Every other firm tells you how long they’ve been in business. We tell you how many deadlines we hit, how many banks accepted our KYC, and how many clients are still with us. These are the numbers from our 2025 operational year.

The Honest List

What YABS Doesn’t Do — and Why That’s a Feature.

Every firm tells you what they do. Few will tell you what they deliberately avoid. This list is why we can price lower, move faster, and guarantee our timelines.

  • No TV or radio advertising. Every dirham saved flows into lower client quotes.
  • No high‑bid Google keywords. We don’t pay AED 200 per click — we earn clients through referrals and transparency.
  • No 200‑person sales teams. Big sales teams mean big commissions baked into your quote. We keep the team senior and small.
  • No commission‑based jurisdiction recommendations. We earn the same fee regardless of which free zone you pick — so we match you to the cheapest fit, not the highest payout.
  • No vague “starting from” prices. Every quote is Price‑Locked in writing before any payment is taken.
  • No “please contact our sales team” after setup. Your account manager stays with you into year 2, year 5, and beyond.
Our Story

Built by People Who Were Tired of How the Industry Operated.

YABS was founded in Dubai in 2015 by a team with a combined twelve years of experience inside the UAE company formation industry — working as in‑house setup specialists, PRO officers, and banking liaisons at other firms. We saw the same broken pattern repeat on every single case.

Founders would walk in, pay a deposit against a marketing price, then discover fees they’d never been quoted. They’d miss their own deadlines because nobody owned the timeline. They’d sit through bank appointments that had no chance of approval because the KYC had never been prepared to the bank’s actual risk policy. And after their license was issued, the firm that had just taken AED 15,000 from them would never pick up the phone again.

“We built YABS to be the firm we would have wanted to hire. Every fee published. Every deadline guaranteed. Every call with a senior specialist. Every bank intro prepared to win.”

Ten years later, we’re intentionally still a small, senior team. We will never serve 100,000 clients. We will not run TV ads. We will not build a 200‑person sales floor. Those are the things that force the hidden fees and call‑centre handoffs we started YABS to eliminate.

What we will do is publish our 2025 on‑time rate every year, refund every missed deadline within 48 hours, and answer your phone call in year 10 the same way we answered it on day one. If that sounds like the firm you want handling your Dubai company setup, we’d love to talk.
