Services
Four layers, and the licence each one needs
We are licensed for documents clearing. That is what holds up the door layer and the maintenance layer. The other two require an additional activity on the licence or a licensed partner — and we say which is which.
Layer 1 · the door
Open it, file it, follow it
Inside activity 8299.85. This is the core of the house and depends on nothing else.
- Trade name reservation, initial approval and filing of the incorporation
- Establishment card at immigration and at labour — there are two, with different dates
- The entry permit that matches your conversion plan, not the visa-waiver stamp
- Status change without leaving the country
- Emirates ID, shareholder visas and dependant visas
- Consular legalisation chain and certified translation, coordinated end to end
- Format check before filing — that is where most refusals are born
Layer 2 · maintenance
Year two, which is where companies fall
A monthly subscription. The tax authority has already waived the AED 10,000 penalty for late corporate tax registration for more than 68,600 companies — roughly one in six. That is not bad luck; it is the absence of a calendar.
- A single calendar with licence, Ejari, visas, Emirates ID, UBO, corporate tax, VAT, insurance and ILOE
- The consequence in dirhams attached to every deadline, reproduced from the official table
- Alerts at 90, 60, 30 and 7 days, by WhatsApp and email
- Renewals filed, not merely remembered
What we do not do here. We do not issue a tax opinion and do not represent you before the tax authority — that requires registration as a Tax Agent. We prepare, file and warn; the opinion comes from a licensed professional, and we say when that is the case.
Layer 3 · the table
Gatherings, delegations and connection between business owners
A business dinner, a connection table and an entry delegation. Whoever sits at the table does business because there was convergence, not because we introduced them — we do not broker and we do not take a share of anything that happens between the people there.
How it works
- You pay for access to the table, never a percentage of what you close at it
- A connection born there is private between the parties
- Restaurant and transport are invoiced by the licensed supplier, directly to you
Licence status
- Requires the event organisation activity, as an amendment to the licence
- We do not sell tickets, hotels or itineraries — that is a tourism licence
Layer 4 · guidance
What is information and what would be a transaction
This distinction is not a detail: it is the boundary of the law. Guiding is permitted; booking is not.
We guide
- Which hotels are close to the offices you are going to visit
- What each journey costs and how long it takes
- What the day at the service centre is like and what to carry with you
- Which documents must be legalised before you board
We do not transact
- We do not book hotels
- We do not issue tickets
- We do not hire vehicles
- We take no commission from any supplier
Wealth held in digital assets
The bottleneck is not buying crypto. It is the bank accepting the money is yours.
We serve clients whose wealth was built in digital assets. We do not buy, do not sell, do not hold in custody and do not receive virtual assets — that is the role of a provider licensed by the virtual assets authority, and we refer you to one when that is the case. Our work is what comes before and what comes after: making the system recognise that the wealth is yours.
Where clients get stuck today
- The bank refuses before a human reads it. Incomplete ultimate beneficial owner documentation accounts for the largest share of refusals, and activity linked to digital assets triggers automatic enhanced due diligence.
- An exchange statement is not enough. The bank wants the unbroken chain: exchange, wallet, trades, transfers, settlement and account. A gap in the middle stalls the process — the problem is the trail, not the tax.
- Buying property with funds of digital origin triggers a mandatory report to the financial intelligence unit, with no minimum amount — whereas for cash the threshold is AED 55,000. The file has to exist before the deed, not after.
- Reconstructing years of history under pressure, on the day the bank asks, is slow, expensive and sometimes impossible.
What we build
- A source-of-funds and source-of-wealth file, in the format bank compliance accepts
- The complete document chain, assembled before anybody asks for it
- Coherence between the licensed activity, the declared plan and the expected volume — a mismatch here is the second largest cause of bank refusal
- Documentation for every shareholder and ultimate beneficial owner, not only the main one
- Referral to a licensed desk when there is a conversion to be made — you contract with it directly
Why this is natural for us. As a designated non-financial business under the anti-money-laundering regime, Aurum is already legally responsible for verifying the source of each client's funds. The file we are obliged to build is the same one the bank demands. We do it once, and it serves both.
Which layer fits your case?
The diagnosis is free. The assistant understands your case and prepares the file; a human adviser examines it and says what fits.
