Shuraa Management & Consultancy, an industry leader over the past 20 years, has consistently been recording exponential growth, both in the UAE and abroad. Over the years, Shuraa has expanded its presence in international domains like Dubai, London, Delhi and Mumbai, with the aim of connecting major global economies, and concrete plans in place to further develop inclusive expansion.

The flagship company, Shuraa Business Setup was founded by Chairman, Saeed Khalifa Mohammed Al Fuqaei in 2001. Over the years, it has evolved to become UAE’s leading provider of end-to-end services. These include, and are not limited to, company formation and registration, PRO and visa, tax and accounting, real estate and more.

Recognising Dubai as the city of the future

Dubai has emerged as an establishment with a cut-throat modern edge, becoming a global hub for investment, experience, and innovation, augmented with exceptional commercial pathways. By opening the channels for industry-related enterprises to operate strategically out of Dubai, the Emirate has established itself as a leader in the world market.

Tapping into this very potential, Saeed Khalifa, a prominent Emirati businessperson, took it upon himself to contribute his part to the economy. He identified the needs of the foreign expats, their interest in the UAE as an untapped market, early on. In his words;

“Cultivating and expanding the UAE’s entrepreneurial ecosystem is important. It not only creates a conducive environment for entrepreneurs and investors but also helps build a viable & innovation-based economy,” says Al Fuqaei.

Since then, the Shuraa Group has seen no stopping. The company boasts a diversified portfolio of verticals:

Braving through the Covid wave

Setting an example to the rest of the world, UAE was among the earliest countries to restart commercial activities at full scale post the Covid-19 pandemic. New economic models based on smart technology and advanced innovations were launched to drive the UAE’s GDP. Results were immediately successful with investors and entrepreneurial entities across the world identifying Dubai as the ultimate destination to resume their global activities.

The government also played a significant role in making Dubai an investor-friendly haven with the implementation of modern laws designed to enhance one’s entrepreneurial journey. The efforts to promote investment & residency include:

- Allowing full foreign ownership of business

- Zero income tax levied on individuals

- Golden Visa for long-term residency

- World class infrastructure

- Strategic global connectivity

- Full repatriation of profits
