Mission
Make setting up in the UAE as predictable as opening a bank account at home: a known price, a known date, and one person accountable for both.
About INCorp8
A consultancy built by people who processed the files.
INCorp8 was started in 2016 by a former free zone officer who was tired of watching founders lose months to avoidable mistakes. Today a team of 22 in Business Bay forms, banks and runs companies for founders from 60 countries.
Vision
To be the firm founders name first when they think about the Gulf, because we stayed useful long after the licence was framed on the wall.
Promise
What we quote is what you pay. What we date is what we chase. If we cannot do something well, we introduce someone who can, at no margin.
From the other side of the counter
Before INCorp8, our founder spent six years inside a Dubai free zone authority reviewing applications. The pattern was always the same: good businesses, wrong activity codes, office types that did not match visa plans, bank files that read like afterthoughts. Rejections were rarely about the business. They were about the paperwork.
INCorp8 started in 2016 with two people and a promise to fix that by running every file the way an examiner reads it. Word of mouth did the rest. By 2020 we were a registered agent for a dozen free zones. In 2023 we added an accounting and tax team when corporate tax arrived, and in 2025 a growth practice for clients heading into Saudi Arabia and government procurement.
We are still an independent, founder-owned firm. No call centre, no franchise, no commissions from banks or free zones that would colour our advice.

How we work
Five rules we hire and fire by.
Written down in 2018 after a client asked what made us different. Still on the wall.
Recommend against ourselves when it is right
If Offshore is cheaper and fits, we say so, even when Mainland would earn us more. Clients stay for years because the first advice was honest.
One consultant, start to finish
No handoffs between sales, processing and PRO. The person who scoped your file is the person who messages you when the licence is issued.
Government fees at cost, always
Every receipt is shared. Our fee is the only line we earn on, and it is agreed before we start.
Dates, not adjectives
"Fast" means nothing. We quote working days per step and report against them, publicly, on our pace page.
Compliance is the product
A licence that lapses is worse than no licence. Everything we deliver comes with a calendar and someone whose job is to watch it.
"The UAE has become genuinely competitive, not just convenient. Non-oil sectors now drive most of the economy, licences issue in days and a founder can own everything outright. The only thing that has not changed is that a bad first decision on jurisdiction still costs a year. That is the decision we exist to get right."
