About
Sanctuary is most useful when a UAE case sits between tax, structure, relocation and ongoing corporate administration rather than inside one narrow service box. A lot of businesses and private clients do not only need a filing done or a company incorporated. They need the tax position to make sense, the entity structure to fit the wider picture, the relocation side to move in parallel and the ongoing compliance layer to stay under control once the business is already live.
That is where this profile is stronger than a simple one line provider. Sanctuary publicly positions around tax and advisory, corporate services, residency and relocation, accounting and bookkeeping, and regulatory support. This makes the firm relevant not only for a first setup decision, but also for clients who need a coordinated path across UAE corporate tax, accounting discipline, company formation, relocation planning and the governance work that tends to become more important after launch.
The brand is especially relevant for internationally connected founders, investors, family led groups, cross border businesses and operating companies that want cleaner advice before small problems turn into tax, documentation or regulatory friction later. It is also a practical fit where a client wants one team to stay useful across both UAE entry and the ongoing support layer in Dubai or Abu Dhabi.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of client is Sanctuary usually best for?
Sanctuary is usually best for internationally connected founders, investors, operating businesses and groups that need coordinated help across tax, corporate services, accounting, relocation and regulatory support in the UAE.
Is Sanctuary only about UAE corporate tax?
No. Corporate tax is a major part of the public positioning, but the firm also presents corporate services, accounting and bookkeeping, residency and relocation, trust and fiduciary work, and regulatory support.
Can Sanctuary help with company formation in the UAE?
Yes. The official services page explicitly presents corporate services with complete business setup and end to end company formation for the UAE, which makes this provider relevant before a company is even incorporated.
Would this be a better fit than a simple setup seller?
Yes, especially if the case involves tax, relocation, cross border ownership, ongoing accounting, governance or regulatory questions. This profile is stronger when the client needs judgement and continuity rather than only a registration step.
Can Sanctuary support accounting and bookkeeping after launch?
Yes. Accounting and bookkeeping are clearly listed as a public service line, which makes the firm relevant after the setup stage and not only before incorporation.
Is Sanctuary relevant for relocation and residency related cases?
Yes. Residency and relocation are a dedicated service area on the official site, so the provider is relevant where UAE market entry and personal relocation need to move together.
Does the firm look more suitable for private clients or business clients?
It can serve both, but the strongest public fit for Emirae is around business clients, cross border founders, investors and family led or internationally structured groups that need tax, corporate and compliance support in one place.
Can Sanctuary help with regulatory and MLRO related support?
Yes. Regulatory and MLRO support is listed as a dedicated service area, including support for compliance reviews, risk assessments, licence expansion and special projects.
Is Sanctuary limited to Dubai only?
No. The public contact details show office presence in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, including ADGM, which makes the profile relevant beyond a single city level setup conversation.
When is Sanctuary probably not the right fit?
It may be less suitable when the only goal is the cheapest possible setup package with minimal advisory depth. The stronger use case is where structure, tax, relocation and ongoing compliance need to be thought through together.
