About GC
A Dubai-based partner for international business.
We bring finance, corporate structuring and technology expertise together, so companies can enter the UAE with confidence and build operations that last.
Who we are
Your gateway to opportunities in the UAE.
Global Consulting and Development — legally registered as GC FZE — is a consulting company based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. We advise international corporations that want to do business in the UAE and use it as a hub for the wider region.
Entering a new market involves many decisions at once: where to incorporate, how to structure ownership and finances, which licences and registrations are needed, how to set up banking, and how to build the technology that runs the business. We help our clients make these decisions in the right order and carry them through to execution.
Our work sits at the intersection of finance, corporate advisory and IT. That combination lets us see the full picture — from the financial model and the legal structure to the systems and processes your team will use every day.
