Gareth and the company were recommended to me by a friend, and I can confidently say the recommendation was absolutely spot on.
From our very first conversation, Gareth inspired total confidence. Setting up a company and navigating the visa process in the UAE can feel overwhelming, but he and his team (particularly Emma) handled everything with clarity, efficiency and professionalism.
What really stood out was the responsiveness and attention to detail at every stage. No question was too small, no step was left unclear - the entire process was structured, transparent and genuinely smooth from start to finish.
It’s rare to find advisors who combine strong technical expertise with such a personal, client-focused approach. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Gareth and his team to anyone looking for a seamless company setup and visa experience in Dubai.
A huge thank you again for the outstanding support.

Working with Gareth and the team was the best experience that I could have asked for. I really value simplicity and efficiency and the team delivered both!
I had a short timeline to get everything done and the team ensured it was done on time and they did it perfectly! I could not recommend them enough and I don't know how I could have moved over without their support!

Working with Start Business Advisory was one of the best decisions I made when deciding to move to Dubai.
The whole process from start to finish was excellent. From receiving two VISA's, to setting up the business and getting a bank account set up. The team made this experience seamless, they walked me through everything I had to do, and it really took the pressure off me as I didn't know where to start.
A big shoutout to; Emma for picking me up and dropping me off when doing my health check and biometrics, even when she had a dodgy knee; to Miriam for helping me with setting up the business account, then to Huda for answering my stupid initial questions. Then Gareth for allowing me to use his service.
For anyone I know who's looking to set up in Dubai, I will 100% recommend them this service and would recommend this to anyone reading.

I was first introduced to Gareth through my dear friend, and honestly, I can’t thank them enough for making that connection. From the very first moment, everything just felt surprisingly easy and straightforward, which is such a rare thing when you’re dealing with something new or important. Gareth immediately came across as not only knowledgeable but also approachable, and that combination gave me instant confidence that I was in the right hands.
What really stood out to me was how smoothly everything was handled. Every step that I thought might be complicated or stressful turned out to be simple, because Gareth explained things so clearly and always had a solution ready before I even had time to worry. There was no sense of pressure, only genuine support, and that made the whole process feel almost effortless.

10/10 Experience — Seamless, Professional, and Outstanding from Start to Finish
Working with Gareth and his team has been nothing short of exceptional. From our very first call, it was clear I was dealing with a team that not only knew their craft inside out but genuinely cared about my goals. Gareth listened closely, asked the right questions, and gave direct, clear solutions to every concern I had about setting up my company and securing my visa in the UAE.
What really sets them apart is how comprehensive the support was — far beyond just admin and documentation. From travel logistics to getting between buildings, setting up my phone, and even helping me get familiar with the local area, Gareth and his team handled everything with calm efficiency and professionalism.
In a space where many claim to deliver, Gareth actually does — and at an elite level. If you're considering a move to Dubai and want a team you can trust to make the process smooth, simple, and successful, this is the easiest recommendation I can make.
Choose Gareth and his team. You won’t be disappointed.
