Consultation

Structure & license

Company formation across mainland, free zone, DIFC or AGDM, with all documentation prepared and filed on your behalf.

03

Visas & banking

Residency visas, Emirates ID, and resident or non-resident bank accounts — coordinated in parallel to compress timelines.

04

Relocate & grow

Ongoing PRO support, tax registration, accounting and recruitment — so the business runs while you settle in.

UK → Dubai relocation

Two markets, one team

Our UK heritage isn't a tagline — it's where the relocation begins. We help UK businesses restructure, transfer, and relocate to Dubai, fully or partially, while keeping operations compliant on both sides.

Transfer pricing Business relocation Residency & visas Tax efficiency
UK to Dubai relocation — 811 Consultancy
UK

Compliant on both sides. HMRC & UAE-ready structuring from day one.

Transfer pricing, UK to Dubai

We design and document transfer-pricing structures that hold up under HMRC and UAE scrutiny — so intercompany transactions, IP transfers and profit allocation move with you, not against you.

Full or partial business relocation

Move your entire operation or just the parts that benefit most — holding structures, trading entities or IP — into a UAE free zone or mainland setup, sequenced by people who've done both sides.

Recently changed

Residency, Golden Visa & investor visa

The UAE has removed the minimum-investment requirement on the 2-year investor visa for sole property owners — entry has never been more accessible. The 10-year Golden Visa remains available from AED 2M in property, business or fund investment, with full family sponsorship and no stay requirement.

Recently changed

Non-resident bank accounts

A new digital initiative lets non-resident visitors open a personal account in minutes — biometric ID, instant digital debit card, no paperwork. Commercially, non-resident founders can open UAE corporate accounts for their new entity without relocating first.

The structural advantage

Two numbers that change the economics of the move

0% INCOME TAX

Zero income tax territory

Dubai's personal income tax is zero. For founders, directors and key staff relocating, that's not a perk — it's a structural advantage that changes the maths of the entire move.

0% VAT ON EXPORTS

Zero VAT on exported services

Services exported outside the UAE are zero-rated for VAT. Structured correctly, your UK client base keeps paying you with no UAE VAT leakage.
