Boutique Practice. Professional Standards.
R&G Consulting was founded on a singular belief — that growing businesses deserve the same rigour and personal attention that larger firms offer their biggest clients. We deliver structured, professional consulting with the focus and agility that only a dedicated boutique practice can provide.
"We don't just advise — we build lasting partnerships grounded in integrity, precision, and an uncompromising commitment to your success."
Based in Dubai, UAE, we focus specifically on the local regulatory landscape — helping businesses navigate incorporation, tax compliance, and audit requirements with clarity and confidence.
Every recommendation we make is grounded in honesty. We tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear.
Precision in Practice
UAE regulations demand exactness. Our team maintains the highest standards of accuracy across every deliverable.
Client-Centred Approach
You work directly with the people running the engagement — not passed along a chain. Your business receives focused attention at every stage.
Confidentiality Always
Your commercial information is treated with absolute discretion. Our privacy-first approach is non-negotiable.

With new VAT amendments and expanded FTA audit powers effective 2026, compliance has never been more critical. We proactively manage your exposure.

If our way of working sounds like the way you'd like to be served, we should speak.
Honest answers to the things clients raise most often before our first call.
Can foreign nationals own 100% of a UAE company?
Yes — for most commercial activities, 100% foreign ownership is now permitted on the Mainland as well as in every Free Zone. We map your activity, jurisdiction, and visa needs to the structure that gives you the cleanest path to operate.
Mainland, Free Zone, or Offshore — which is right for me?
It depends on where you will trade, who your clients are, and your visa requirements. Mainland gives unrestricted local market access; Free Zones offer activity-specific benefits and ease of setup; Offshore is purpose-built for holding and international structuring. We compare all three against your actual plans before recommending.
Do I need to register for VAT and Corporate Tax?
VAT registration is mandatory once taxable supplies exceed AED 375,000 (voluntary above AED 187,500). UAE Corporate Tax applies to most businesses earning above AED 375,000 of taxable income. We handle registration with the FTA, set up your filing calendar, and keep you compliant from day one.
How long does company incorporation usually take?
Most Free Zone licences are issued within 3 to 10 working days once documents are in order. Mainland setups typically take 1 to 3 weeks depending on activity and approvals. We give you a precise timeline in the proposal — and we follow up with the authorities so you don't have to.
How does your pricing work?
Scope, deliverables, timeline and pricing are confirmed in writing before any work begins. You will know exactly what you are paying for. If scope genuinely changes, we agree the variation with you in writing first.
Do you offer ongoing compliance support after setup?
Yes. Many clients retain us for monthly bookkeeping, VAT and Corporate Tax filings, audit support, and licence renewals. We can also act as your finance function on an outsourced basis until you are ready to bring it in-house.
