Ali Jasim

In short

Ali Jasim is Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Business Corporation, the Dubai business setup consultancy he runs from Office 3402 in Burj Al Salam on Sheikh Zayed Road.

The firm has been forming companies in the UAE for 26 years, holds a 98% success rate on the applications it files, and is rated 4.8 out of 5 from 16 reviews on Google.

He is the author of all 167 guides in this library, covering company formation, trade licences, residence and Golden Visas, corporate tax, VAT, PRO services and UAE business banking. They are written from the firm's live casework, which is why they carry real figures and name the authority behind every rule.

What He Is Accountable For

Two things, and they are connected.

The firm

Every File the Firm Submits

Dubai Business Corporation handles company formation, visas, tax and compliance, PRO work, corporate banking and legal advisory in house rather than referring clients out.

As Chief Executive Officer he owns the outcome of every file the firm submits. That is what the 98% success rate measures: applications that go in and come back approved.

The guides

Every Guide Carries His Byline

Every article on this site carries his byline, and that is a real signature rather than a house name.

The library is written by the person responsible for the work it describes, not by a content team briefed from the outside.

The Three Rules He Writes To

These are the reason the library reads differently from most business setup content. Each one costs something, so they are worth stating plainly.

  1. 01

    Figures Come From the Price Book, or They Do Not Appear

    Dubai Business Corporation runs a live cost calculator on its real itemised pricing, and the guides quote from the same book. Where the firm holds no price for a jurisdiction, the guide says so and routes to the calculator rather than inventing a range.

    That is why the cost articles end in a number when almost every competitor page ends in "contact us".

  2. 02

    Every Rule Is Attributed to the Authority That Made It

    The guides link out to the Federal Tax Authority, MOHRE, the ICP, GDRFA, Dubai Customs, the Central Bank of the UAE and the relevant licensing body rather than paraphrasing them anonymously.

    All 167 guides carry at least one primary source, so any claim can be checked at source instead of taken on trust.

  3. 03

    Where the Attractive Answer and the Correct Answer Differ, the Correct One Wins

    The guide on bed space and labour accommodation states plainly that partitioning residential units is prohibited and offers no workaround, because there is not a lawful one.

    It is the one article on this site where those two answers came apart, and it takes the correct one.

What Clients Say About the Work

Verbatim from the firm's Google Business Profile, chosen because each names the specific work rather than offering general praise.

On Golden Visa processing

"They processed my Golden Visa, which it took them 4 working days to complete the process with VIP service centres for health check up and Emirates ID Issuance. Their team was updating me on each step they were taking."

On the long view

"I have been dealing with this team for over 15 years. Very professional in every sense. Company set up, visas and other PRO work. They are the best in the business."

What He Writes About

The spread below is generated from the live article set, so it is what has actually been published rather than a claim.
