How Indian Entrepreneurs Are Contributing to the UAE's Trade, Retail And Services Growth

Why a UAE business setup file needs the commercial chain done right

A Dubai or Abu Dhabi free-zone or mainland company set up by an Indian founder needs more than the personal residence file. The commercial documents (the Indian company's incorporation certificate, MOA, AOA, board resolution authorising the UAE entity, GST certificate, audited financials, Power of Attorney to the UAE PRO or local partner) all need attestation. The chain runs through Chamber of Commerce, then MEA, then UAE Embassy in New Delhi, then UAE MOFA in the destination emirate.

The personal file (degree, marriage certificate, birth certificate, PCC) runs the standard UAE attestation chain in parallel. Founders often underestimate how much paper the commercial chain needs. A Power of Attorney signed in India that has not been notarised, Chamber-attested, MEA-attested and UAE Embassy-attested will not be accepted by the UAE notary or the free-zone authority.

What this kind of file usually carries

• Company incorporation certificate, MOA, AOA, GST and PAN
• Board resolution authorising the UAE entity
• Audited financial statements (last three years)
• Power of Attorney to the UAE local agent or PRO
• Founder's degree, marriage certificate, birth certificate and PCC
• Passport with at least twenty-four months validity

Where SiZA Global fits in this preparation

We handle the India side: Chamber of Commerce attestation, MEA attestation, UAE Embassy attestation in New Delhi, certified Arabic translation by listed translators and tracked return of originals. The free-zone licence, the mainland trade licence, the UAE bank account opening and the UAE residence visa belong to the UAE side. We do not promise outcomes there.

FAQs

Why are Indians moving to United Arab Emirates for trade, retail and services opportunities?

Dubai and Abu Dhabi remain among the easiest GCC destinations for an Indian founder to set up an entity, and a well-prepared commercial documentation chain is what differentiates a smooth licence application from a stalled one. The free-zone authorities and mainland trade licence offices read attested documents only.

Which documents may Indians need before moving to United Arab Emirates?

A UAE business setup file usually carries the Indian company's incorporation certificate, MOA, AOA, GST and PAN, a board resolution authorising the UAE entity, audited financial statements, Power of Attorney to the UAE local agent, founder's degree, marriage certificate, birth certificate, PCC and passport.

Can SiZA Global help with apostille, attestation or translation?

Yes. We process Chamber of Commerce attestation, MEA attestation, UAE Embassy attestation in New Delhi, certified Arabic translation by listed translators and tracked return of originals. We do not run the free-zone licence application, the mainland trade licence or the UAE residence visa.

Is SiZA Global a government department or a private documentation support company?

SiZA Global Solutions Pvt. Ltd. is a private documentation services company registered in Noida. We are not a government department, not an embassy and not a business setup consultancy. We carry the India-side document chain so the case moves cleanly through Chamber of Commerce, MEA, the UAE Embassy and UAE MOFA.
