Expectations vs. Reality When Registering a Company in the UAE
When it comes to registering a company in the UAE, many entrepreneurs seek help from business consultants, expecting to receive qualified support and detailed advice. However, our experience with Alexandra Shumilova, a business consultant in Dubai, showed that reality can significantly differ from expectations.
Incompetence and Lack of Preparation
The first difficulties arose immediately. The manager we contacted demonstrated a complete lack of understanding of the basic processes related to company registration. The required document package was incomplete, and later it turned out that we were not informed about an important document necessary to complete the process.
Process Delays: Lost Time and Money
When all the documents were finally ready and the registration timelines were discussed, the real nightmare began. The process dragged on indefinitely, far exceeding the initial estimates. This not only disrupted our plans for a quick business start but also led to additional financial losses.
The Quality of Additional Services Leaves Much to Be Desired
Besides company registration, Alexandra Shumilova offered assistance in writing business plans and opening bank accounts. Unfortunately, these services were also performed poorly. The business plans were superficial and lacked specifics, and the bank account opening process was delayed due to incorrectly prepared documents.
The Need for Careful Consultant Selection
Based on our experience, we strongly recommend that future clients thoroughly check the qualifications and reputation of business consultants before starting cooperation. Mistakes in choosing a consultant can lead to serious financial and time losses, as well as general disappointment in the business startup process.
