ABOUT US
Strive is Your Trusted Companion in Your UAE Business Journey

Our Story
Built to Raise the Standard
Strive was founded after recognising a gap in the quality of advice available to international entrepreneurs and business owners entering the UAE. Too often, businesses were being set up without considering the bigger picture, exposing them to unnecessary tax, banking and compliance risks. We set out to change that by providing strategic, joined-up advice that helps businesses build the right foundations from day one.

“Too many business owners are sold a licence before anyone understands their business. At Strive, we do the opposite. We start with your goals, your structure and your international tax position, because once the structure is right, the licence becomes the easy part.”
Pali Banwait
Founder, Strive Consultants
At Strive, we don’t start by recommending a licence. We start by understanding your business, your goals, and your international tax position. This allows us to build a strategy around what is genuinely right for you, not just the easiest option to sell.
Our approach helps you:
- Understand your current position: Review your existing structure, tax exposure, business objectives, and long-term plans.
- Choose the right business structure: Compare Free Zone, Mainland, holding company, and international structures based on your commercial requirements.
- Navigate international tax considerations: Assess cross-border tax implications and identify opportunities to create a more efficient structure.
- Plan your complete UAE journey: From company formation and banking to residency, compliance, and ongoing support, we guide you through every stage.
