VARA-aligned structuring
The Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority licenses virtual-asset activities in Dubai. We structure your entity and licence application around the VARA category your business falls under.
Virtual-asset activity scoping
Exchange, broker-dealer, custody, lending, advisory and token issuance are regulated differently. We map your model to the correct activities and the right jurisdiction or free zone.
AML and compliance framework
Virtual-asset providers carry heavy anti-money-laundering and know-your-customer duties, including goAML obligations. We build the policies, controls and reporting your licence requires.
Banking for digital assets
Crypto businesses face strict bank onboarding. We prepare a robust source-of-funds and compliance file and introduce you to banks open to regulated virtual-asset firms.
Corporate tax on crypto income
Profits from virtual-asset activity are within UAE Corporate Tax: 0% up to AED 375,000 of taxable income and 9% above. We register you with the FTA and plan your position.
Accounting for tokens and wallets
We implement bookkeeping that handles token holdings, wallet reconciliations, gas costs and fiat-crypto conversions, producing audit-ready accounts and clean VAT treatment.
Model and regulatory review
We assess your virtual-asset model against VARA categories and recommend the licensing route, jurisdiction and structure.
Entity and licence application
We incorporate your company and prepare the licence application with the activities, ownership and compliance documents required.
Compliance and banking
We build your AML and KYC framework, register for goAML where required, and prepare your corporate bank-account application.
Tax and accounting setup
We register you for Corporate Tax and VAT where applicable and implement crypto-aware bookkeeping.
