Indian-listed parent company, mid-cap, expanding into UAE via a Dubai branch to serve GCC clients directly. The Indian side is regulated (SEBI disclosures on overseas expansion, FEMA compliance on capital movement) and we do not want the UAE side to contradict what our Indian company secretary and auditor have signed off on.
Need a UAE-side consultant who has placed branches of Indian-listed parents recently: UAE branch registration with MOFA-attested parent documents, UBO disclosure reflecting the listed structure correctly, banking on a branch of a listed parent (which is a different conversation than banking on a private parent), and ongoing UAE filings aligned with the parent's financial calendar.
The engagement needs to coordinate with our Indian company secretary, not run in parallel. Happy to set up a joint working call before committing to scope.
