I was particularly well received by Christelle, the Managing Partner of the Dubai branch. GCM demonstrated great agility in their quotation process, which was crucial as I was leading a nascent structure in Dubai. The support provided during the administrative procedures for establishing my company in the UAE, along with the responsiveness of the service—especially from one of their team members, Oksana—truly reassured me and gave me confidence during a stressful period of establishing a professional presence abroad. I highly recommend GCM to any professional looking to set up in the UAE or even just to benefit from their advice.
The service renderade was proactive, engaged and well excecuted.
Service was excellent from start to finish. Anna Hochberg was always available to give advice and options and walk us through the process.
Transparent, efficient with very good communication flow. The result was a smooth and quick registration of a new company, exactly as required.
