Hi,

I just joined the forum, this might be late but I can help.

Financial Consulting/ Investment is a broad term, you need to specify the exact activity that you would like to carry out in the UAE. For example, Financial consultancy, may refer to life insurance, it can also refer to portfolio investment etc.

As per the law, free zone companies in the UAE cannot directly carry out their business activities in main land Dubai, Abu Dhabi or elsewhere in the Emirates, without having a local distributor or agent that has the proper license to do so.

I can assist you zero out on the exact business activity that you are looking for based on the categories outlined by the Department of Economic Development (DED).
