Start Business Services is a boutique company-formation firm in Dubai for UK, Irish and Australian business owners building or expanding a real business in the UAE. The firm starts with the bank, not the licence: it speaks to the bank about the company before it is set up, then handles formation, visas and residency, and in-house bookkeeping, VAT and corporate tax. Founded in 2021 by Gareth Jones, who has worked in international company formation since 2009 and in the UAE since 2013.
