The Story Behind STRATOS

Stratos Consulting was founded on a simple but powerful premise: What do we want as a boutique business services firm?

After years of working in corporate advisory, finance, and international business development, our founding team saw a recurring pattern, entrepreneurs and investors entering the UAE market were too often overwhelmed by bureaucracy, misled by generic service providers, or forced into rigid packages that didn’t reflect their ambitions.

We created Stratos to break that cycle.

What began as a boutique consulting firm has evolved into a high-performance business platform designed for visionary entrepreneurs, multinational companies, and high-net-worth individuals who demand more, more clarity, more control, more impact. From first-time founders to seasoned investors, we offer a curated, precise, and deeply strategic approach to business formation, compliance, and long-term operational success in the UAE.

About Us

Dubai has become more than just a global hotspot, it's evolved into one of the most strategic and well-connected places in the world to launch and scale a business. With its pro-business mindset, zero personal income tax, and access to fast-growing markets, it’s no surprise that entrepreneurs, investors, and business owners from across the world are choosing the UAE as their gateway to the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.

At Stratos, we do more than just register your business; we help you build a full-service corporate ecosystem in UAE. Whether you're expanding internationally, launching a new venture, or diversifying your global portfolio, we manage the entire infrastructure around your setup.

Our team coordinates the finer details so you can focus on scaling your business with confidence.

What our clients value most isn’t just efficiency, it's trust. We are a reliable partner who understands the local business environment, speaks our clients language, and delivers results without delays or complications.

We manage the entire process from start to finish: selecting the right company structure (mainland, free zone, or offshore), securing trade licenses, organizing investor and employee visas, and opening corporate bank accounts.Our established network within UAE financial institutions and regulatory bodies allows us to navigate the system quickly and effectively on your behalf.

We recognize how time-sensitive visa matters can be, particularly when relocating founders, family members, or key personnel. We’ll guide you through investor visas, Emirates ID applications, and full compliance requirements, all with minimal stress on your end.

With UAE’s straightforward setup environment, we’ve seen clients go from idea to operation in a matter of days, especially when they’ve had the right guidance from the start.

The right structure depends on your specific goals and we’ll help you choose wisely with our expertise and experience.

Over the years, we’ve worked with more than 2,000 businesses, from low-maintenance setups with access to global banking, to fully operational offices with a local team and long-term residency. We customize our support around you and your needs providing a bespoke experience to meet your goals.
