II  —  Who we work with

Three kinds of principal. One playbook for each.

Most prospects pre-screen themselves against these three patterns. If you don't recognize yourself here, we're probably not the right firm.

🇳🇬🇨🇲🇸🇳 TYPICAL ORIGINS

— ICP 01

Founders relocating their company

Tech, AI, crypto, payments, and trading principals who have outgrown their original jurisdiction. They come to us when the wrong jurisdiction is costing them more than the right structure ever would.

🇨🇭🇬🇧🇫🇷 TYPICAL ORIGINS

— ICP 02

Family offices structuring residency and assets

Third-generation principals optimizing long-term jurisdiction strategy — building a Dubai foothold without compromising their European or American positions.

🇺🇸🇮🇳🇸🇬 TYPICAL ORIGINS

— ICP 03

Established businesses opening a Gulf HQ

Operating groups expanding into the UAE as a regional base — needing the formation, the people, and the banking handled in one continuous engagement, not three disconnected vendors.

III  —  Services

A single coordinated practice, not five vendors with the same address.

Every engagement is bespoke. We do not publish prices because we do not sell packages.

Service · 01

Company Formation

Free Zone, Mainland, and Offshore.

Entity selection is driven by the tax outcome, banking access, and residency plan — not by whichever Free Zone is calling first. We structure across DMCC, IFZA, RAKEZ, DIFC, ADGM, and the Mainland depending on what your operation actually does.

IV  —  The Amedia difference

Why principals pay more
to work with us.

The cheap Dubai outfits hand you an entity and disappear. We are still on the line three years later — usually because by then you are restructuring across a second or third jurisdiction.

01.

One partner, every jurisdiction.

Geneva, London, Dubai, and Madrid coordinate behind a single relationship. You never re-explain your file to a new desk.

02.

International tax advisors, not filers.

Our partners design the structure first and operate it second. Most Dubai shops do the inverse, and the structure suffers for it.

03.

Banking access, not just incorporation.

An entity without a bank account is a problem. We open both, in that order, with the right institutions for your profile.

04.

Thirty years across CH · UK · UAE · ES.

The Dubai practice draws on three decades of Swiss fiduciary discipline. The institutional memory is the asset.

V  —  Proof

What clients say, after the fact.

🇨🇲 CAMEROON → 🇦🇪 UAE

“Three accounting firms told me a UAE move was ‘a formality.’ Amedia told me it was a tax-structuring problem first, an immigration problem second. They were right.”

— FOUNDER, COMMODITIES TRADING GROUP

🇨🇭 CH → 🇪🇸 + 🇦🇪

“Two residencies, three corporate vehicles, one partner. Geneva, Madrid, and Dubai coordinated as one team. Nothing fell through a crack.”

— PRINCIPAL, MULTI-GENERATIONAL FAMILY OFFICE

🇬🇧 UK → 🇦🇪 UAE

“Our previous advisor opened a Free Zone entity. Amedia explained why that was wrong for us, restructured it Mainland, and the bank stopped flagging us within a month.”

VI  —  Frequently asked

Questions our partners hear on the first call.

In most cases yes — the UAE does not require you to renounce other residencies. The harder question is whether your original jurisdiction will continue to treat you as resident there. We model the position before you decide, not after.
