The Evolve Accounting Group
The Evolve Accounting Group
Three businesses exist under one group because the journey from a UK company to a fully compliant UAE operation cannot be served by one alone. Evolve Tax handles the British side, Evolve Accountants runs the Emirates side, and Evolve Wealth will connect business structure to personal capital. What holds them together is not a shared brand — it is a shared standard: honesty about what a move actually requires, transparency on cost and process, and end-to-end service so no client is handed between providers who do not talk to each other.
01 — United Kingdom
Evolve Tax
Launched 2024
Trusted by more than 500 clients on the UK side of a move to the Emirates.
Evolve Tax handles UK-to-UAE restructuring, company formation, visas, corporate tax registration, VAT, banking and the ongoing compliance calendar that follows. The onboarding below is the same sequence every client goes through, start to finish.
- 01
Discovery call and structure recommendation
A first conversation to understand the existing UK business, the reasons for moving and the structure that fits — mainland or free zone, holding company or trading entity.
- 02
Licence and activity selection
Matching the business activity to the right licence and jurisdiction, balancing cost, scope and future flexibility.
- 03
Company formation
Filing incorporation documents, drafting the memorandum of association and securing the trade licence.
- 04
Driver collection on arrival
A driver meets the client on landing in the UAE — the first appointments start the same day.
- 05
SIM card
A local mobile number, needed for banking, government portals and day-to-day life, arranged before anything else.
- 06
Medical
The mandatory medical fitness test required for the Emirates ID and residence visa application.
- 07
Biometrics
Fingerprint and photograph capture at an approved typing centre, feeding into the Emirates ID and visa file.
- 08
Emirates ID
Application and processing of the national identity card, required for almost every subsequent step.
- 09
Residence visa
Stamping of the UAE residence visa linked to the new company, giving legal residency status.
- 10
Bank account opening
Introductions to relationship managers and preparation of the compliance file that UAE banks require for a new company account.
- 11
Accounting software onboarding
Setting up cloud accounting software and connecting bank feeds so bookkeeping starts from day one.
- 12
Corporate tax and VAT registration
Registering the new entity for UAE corporate tax and, where applicable, VAT, with the Federal Tax Authority.
- 13
Monthly bookkeeping and compliance monitoring
Ongoing bookkeeping, management accounts and monitoring against filing deadlines and thresholds.
- 14
Automated renewal reminders
Licence, visa and Emirates ID renewal dates tracked and flagged well ahead of expiry, so nothing lapses.
