Private advisory service — not a government website. UnionSPACE is a private business consultancy and commercial services provider. We are not a government agency, official filing portal or issuing authority in any market listed on this page. Company registrations, licences, tax registrations, immigration approvals and bank accounts remain under the control of the relevant authorities or institutions.
Expanding Internationally? Choose the Right Structure Before You File.
Setting up a company overseas is rarely just a registration exercise. Ownership rules, permitted activities, local directors or officers, office requirements, tax, banking, licences and ongoing compliance can change the best route materially.
UnionSPACE helps you evaluate the market-entry decision first. We review what your business intends to do, where revenue will be generated, who will own and manage the entity, and what operational presence you actually need before recommending a practical way forward.

Dubai advisoryWHY REVIEW FIRST
International Expansion Is a Structuring Decision Before It Is a Filing Exercise
The old question is “Where can I register fastest?” The better question is “Which structure lets the business operate, bank, hire, invoice, repatriate profits and remain compliant in the way we actually need?”
1. Ownership & Control
Review foreign-ownership limits, required local roles, shareholder rights, parent-company structure and whether the intended control model is lawful and workable.
2. Activity & Licensing
Map what the company will actually do against permitted activities, regulated sectors, licence sequencing and conditions that may affect launch.
3. Tax, Capital & Repatriation
Consider capital expectations, local tax obligations, withholding, treaty issues and the practical route for funding and returning profits.
4. Banking & Operating Substance
Assess office, people, contracts, banking KYC, local presence and recurring compliance so the structure can function beyond incorporation.
CLEAR RESPONSIBILITIES
What Public Authorities Do — and What UnionSPACE Does
UnionSPACE provides private professional advisory and commercial coordination. Government authorities and financial institutions remain responsible for official registrations, licences, immigration approvals, tax registrations and bank-account decisions.
- Set legal, licensing, tax and immigration requirements.
- Operate official filing and registration systems.
- Issue or control official registrations, licences and permissions.
- Decide whether applications are accepted, approved, rejected or require more information.
- Banks independently determine KYC, attendance and account approval.
- Review the client's commercial situation, objectives and proposed operating model.
- Compare lawful structure and market-entry routes.
- Identify important licensing, tax, office, banking and compliance questions.
- Prepare a written recommendation and implementation roadmap.
- Provide optional private implementation, office, accounting and operating support under a separate scope.
You may use official government channels directly
Where direct government filing or information portals are available, businesses may use them without engaging UnionSPACE. Each country advisory page links to relevant official sources. UnionSPACE charges for private advisory, planning and commercial support—not for issuing government documents or guaranteeing approvals.
HOW WE WORK
One Review. A Clearer Decision. Then Optional Implementation.
The purpose of the review is to help you decide what to do before you commit to a country, entity or service provider.
Situation & Objective Review
We examine the investor profile, business model, ownership goals, target customers, staffing, banking, location and timing.
Written Market-Entry Recommendation
You receive a written report setting out the recommended route, alternatives, important assumptions, key risks and practical next steps.
Optional Implementation Support
If you proceed, UnionSPACE can propose a separate private-service scope. Government and third-party approvals and charges remain independent.
